Ban MPs from having paid or unpaid second jobs / company roles

Petition Details

To make a law to ban MPs from having second jobs or company roles (paid or unpaid).

This should be discussed in parliament and brought into law to ban second jobs (paid or unpaid in any asset).

Additional Information

MPs should concentrate solely on public and national interest(s). In my opinion, there is not a solid argument (except for personal gain/wealth) for an MP to have a second job that does not conflict with their parliamentary role or distract them from what should be a full time role.
