Background

Create an independent team of parliamentary auditors to assess and report on MPs to provide the public with a clear view of how well each MP represents them. Provide the ability for the team to sanction MPs where under-performance is identified.

Additional details

We feel that once an MP is elected, the public has little understanding as to how their elected representative performs. We believe there is a perception that some MPs do not commit to the role of representing their constituencies. We think an independent audit that evaluates MPs and publishes reports could help bolster confidence in the UK political establishment and provide incentives to MPs to deliver the best possible outcomes to their constituents.
