Reduce MP's salaries and numbers.
Its about time the people that govern stop wasting money.
Reduce their salaries, expenses and reduce numbers by 40 percent.
Far too many MP's are taking high salaries and claiming far to much in expenses, we need to reduce salaries and their numbers by 40 percent.

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.
IPSA also oversees and regulates MPs’ business costs and expenses.
If you would like to contact IPSA with your suggestions, here’s how to contact them:
