Kicking around an idea

Possible idea for a petition in the run up to next year European Elections:

Given the UK Independence Party's (UKIP's) stance with regards the UK's place in the European Union and the fact that the party's core policy and reason for existence is to withdraw the UK from the European Union, we call on Nigel Farage and all other UKIP MEP's to make a pledge to take a principled stance and refuse to take their seats in the European Parliament after the 2014 European Elections and to refuse any monetary contributions they would otherwise receive as MEP's in the same way that Sinn Fenn MP's in the UK do not take there seats in the House of Commons. Taking a stance like this would clearly show to the people of the UK that UKIP could not be accused of double standards with regards to exploiting a system that they do not agree with.

This is only an initial draft of an idea.
