Ban overseas employment of MPs.
We think accepting paid work from overseas entities when serving as a member of the House of Commons should be banned.
When political parties accept foreign funding, and when politicians accept compensation from overseas employers, we believe that at best, their loyalties are split. Money already has an outsize impact on politics, and we think this is a small step in redressing the balance.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
