Ban individuals from working another job whilst serving as an MP

Petition Details

I want all MPs to be prevented from taking on any other form of employment, paid or otherwise.

Additional Information

It's impossible for an MP to be impartial when voting on any laws that could impact their other profession.

Working additional forms of employment also detracts from an MPs capacity to dedicate their time to their constituents, attend sessions in parliament, and as we've seen in some cases, to attend votes.
