Cut MP's pay to incentivise them to work harder.
Due to the recent vote in parliament to cut disabilities benefits, which was argued would incentivise people to find jobs, the government should lead by example and cut their pay online with the cuts that were voted through.
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.
If you would like to contact IPSA, here’s how to contact them:
