Make an independent body to enforce elected politicians’ performance & behaviour
Create an independent body to monitor and enforce the performance and behaviour of elected politicians, and which has the power to take action when there are breaches or failures to act appropriately. We believe there have been many instances of corruption and failures not been acted upon.

Background
We believe this could ensure politicians at all levels behave appropriately and that action is taken by independent body when there are breaches. We also want the body to define the required number of meetings that elected politicians must attend and the minimum contractual hours they must work for, as well as monitor and enforce this. We would also like the body to monitor and ensure elected politicians listen, are honest, and do not avoid questions.
