Iain Duncan Smith to live on £53 per week

Additional Information

Iain Duncan Smith Asserts that he could live on £53 per week if he needed to. (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/9964767/Iain-Duncan-Smith-I-could-live-on-53-per-week.html)

We the people call on him to prove his assertions by living on no more than £53 per week, for a period of at least 2 months.

We believe that this will allow him to see in a realistic manner, what his reforms to the welfare system will have on those affected by the changes to this system.

We would also call on him to live in rented accommodation with at least one spare bedroom, and be deducted the necessary amount from his income, so that he may feel the impact of the "spare room subsidy" introduced on 1st April 2013 by the DWP.
