Change policy so that if an MP or prime minister breaks the law they must resign
If it is found that a government official breaks the law but refuses to resign voluntarily, they should be forced to do so. They should not be able to keep their positions if they are not a law abiding citizen. It sets a bad example and diminishes trust in government.
It is not right that government officials are allowed to break the law and stay in their positions. It suggests that there are no consequences to their actions and sets a bad example and precedent. If government officials break the law, this reveals that they can not be trusted to do the right thing, are not a law abiding citizen, and therefore should not be trusted to represent the public.
