Prevent all Members of Parliament (MPs) from holding a second job.

Numerous MPs hold other elected positions exercising state authority, public sector position or private sector position. All these positions result in an MP at the expense of their constituents spending less time on Parliamentary issues, whilst receiving a financial benefit. Constituents come first.
