Promoting a petition to require MPs to be registered to vote, resident in the UK & to live in or near their constituency. See pinned post for the latest.
Thank you to all who signed. Sadly didn’t get to the 10k threshold.
We didn’t make it to 10k but 5,802 signatures ain’t half bad.
This account is now retired, til the next petition.

Just over an hour left to sign - 5800 people have expressed how outrageous it is that MPs don’t follow the same rules as everyone else when it comes to standing for election.

Insane that this isn’t already a thing.

🗳️ You don’t need to be registered to vote to sign this petition, an MP doesn’t need to be registered to vote to stand in an election or represent their constituency.

✍🏽 Make it make sense by demanding change & signing here:

By protecting our democracy we protect ourselves & our children’s future

Right now, people with no vote & no UK residency can stand as MPs 😲

1 more day to sign to be 1 of the 10k that gets this issue to the government - can you be one of the 4300 needed? ✍🏽

Deadline Midnight
If you find it outrageous that there are different rules for MPs to sit in parliament than the people who vote for them this is your last chance to make your voice heard.
4,231 more signatures will mean a government response. ✍🏽

If any of the Reform MPs wanted to step down & say, Elon Musk (after getting British citizenship) wanted to stand there’s nothing to stop him being an MP & living in America.

Your signature can stop it ever becoming close to a reality. ✍🏽

Only people registered to vote in Clacton can vote for their MP. Farage doesn’t even live in Clacton & there’s nothing to ensure that he lives there to help him do the job he was elected to do.

16 days left to voice your displeasure & get the rules changed.
