Take a 'hypocritical oath' upon becoming an MP
Upon becoming an Member Of Parliament, a 'hypocritical oath' should be taken that ensures that person acts in accordance with their voting record.
Since time began, elected representatives of the people have frequently, once in power, not practiced what they preached. In recent times we've seen MPs voting for masks and lockdowns for us, and then be pictured living it up at some swanky party the next day with not a mask in sight.
If MPs were living with the prospect of a recall and a by-election, if found by an independent panel, of acting contrary to their voting record, they may think twice before creating those laws in the first place.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about hypocrisy, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to ensures that MPs acts in accordance with their voting record.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
