Restrict the salary of MPs to the National Living Wage.
Many working people in our country struggle to survive financially, even when holding down numerous jobs. MPs voting themselves generous pay increases is insulting to these hard working people. We believe that MPs should have their salary restricted to encourage them to work for a fairer society.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Government and Parliament don’t have the power to set MPs’ pay and expenses. That power was given by Parliament to the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) in 2010, so that after 2012 MPs no longer had control over their own pay.
If you would like to contact IPSA, here’s how to contact them:
