Remove the deposit required to stand as an MP

Additional Information

The £500 deposit required to stand as an MP should be abolished as it effectively removes those without the backing of a major party or substantial personal wealth from the democratic process. Instead potential candidates should be required to instead submit a petition of support signed by 500 residents of voting age in their constituency to safeguard against the frivolous and the timewasters and the administrative burden they create.
