All MPs Should Get A Pay Cut
Everyone takes a pay cut so why not MPs
It might or might not make a difference but I believe it should be done and maybe it might restore the public's faith in the government to a certain extent, but it will show that the government really does listen and care
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. 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:
