Have MPs salary be the same as their average constituent.

Petition Details

I feel we need to incentivise our MPs like we currently do the poor. So we should implement into law that MPs will be paid a salary that is the average income for their constituency. They would then be given a chunk of change to invest in their actual constituency.
