Milestones

I believe Members of Parliament should not be allowed to hold second jobs of any sort whilst holding Office.

I believe such jobs could adversely impact an MP's ability to make independent thoughts and actions toward his or her duties to his or her constituency, and instead I think the power of their office may be abused to further their own self-interest.
