Create a robust disciplinary procedure for MPs similar to that of the Police
To introduce a code of conduct to hold MPs to account. A code of conduct similar to the Police where if proven real consequences for proven breaches resulting in confidence in the system and consistency.
An Independent Office for MPs Conduct should be set up away from Westminster for transparency.
The current systems in place has little public confidence in stopping bad behaviour from our elected MPs.
There are no measures that are effective in holding them to account and this overall has a negative effect on overall governance.
If the Police can be held accountable with a strict code of conduct then so should our politicians.
If proven sanctions should be appropriate and proportionate and and range from advice to dismissal in the most serious of cases.
