Require MPs and Ministers to pass competency assessments before taking office

Petition Details

To ensure that ministers and MPs have demonstrable skills and experience sufficient to allow the safe discharge of their public duties as elected members. This could be by examination covering ethics, law, economics, finance, constitutional matters, conflicts of interest etc.

Additional Information

We believe this would significantly improve the quality of MPs and thereby provide higher quality leadership for our country. This could enhance our international standing and may help ensure that MPs in post have the country’s interest at heart, rather being driven by party political matters.
