Reduce the salaries of Members of Parliament
There is a huge pressure on government's finances. We are experiencing cuts in all sectors.
We propose MPs should be paid a maximum of £33,000 p/a.This salary should be paid to those who actually attend 70% of parliamentary sittings.
Those who don't meet this target will earn £22,000

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Government and Parliament don’t have the power to set MPs’ pay. 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. IPSA conducted a public consultation after 2012 and decided what the salaries of MPs should be after the election.
If you would like to contact IPSA about its decision, here’s how to contact them:
