Pass lifetime office bans for MPs & Lords who are guilty of financial misconduct

This would also apply to Lords who are guilty of financial misconduct under the law, are expelled from public office and receive a lifetime ban on holding it again. We believe a strong, unequivocal measure is required to deter unethical financial behaviour. By implementing a lifetime ban on any MP or Lord found guilty of financial misconduct, no matter how small, from ever holding public office again, we believe we send a clear message: public office is a privilege, not a shortcut to personal enrichment. Legislation supporting this could aid in restoring public trust and confidence in our political system. ONE STRIKE AND YOU’RE OUT.
