Require anyone standing for MP to have prior business experience

Petition Details

We, the undersigned, call upon the UK Government to introduce legislation requiring all Members of Parliament (MPs) to have demonstrable experience in business prior to standing for election.

Additional Information

We think that too many laws are shaped by people who’ve never run a business—especially a small one. The result? Poor policy and lost trust. MPs should have real business experience. It’s not about exclusion, but raising the bar. Parliament needs insight, not guesswork.

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.
