End MPs moonlighting
http://www.votivation.com/admin/opinion.php?opinion_id=2779

I think that: Bar MPs from holding a range of paid second jobs.
If these people really think that being an MP is a part-time job and their constituents are prepared to put up with it then, at the very least, they should only draw a part-time salary.
Because: MPs are elected to do a full-time job for their constituents and with a salary of £60,000 we?re paid well for it. Most of us now earn more than double the average income of the people we represent.

However, a considerable number of MPs are apparently too greedy or too bored to devote their time and energy to the job their constituents are paying them to do. They?re out there in the boardrooms and in the courtrooms lining their own pockets. If these people really think that being a Member of Parliament is a part-time job and their constituents are prepared to put up with it then, at the very least, they should only draw a part-time salary.
