Petition Details

if politicians believe we are all in this together. Then if the created "austerity" you have placed us in can be your burden too.

the only solution is for you to take a salary cut to £50,000 per year which is more than many citizen can dream off.

politicians do not need £75,000 a year.

This petition was rejected

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:
