Petition Action

The Prime Minister and the Chancellor must live 2 months on minimum wage or on benefits at the beginning of each term of office.

Additional Information

Politicians are getting more and more out of touch with most of the country and how it is to live on the lower levels of society.
For someone to understand what it is like, they must have empathy and think, what it must be like to live in other people's shoes?
As our modern day politicians are unable to do this, they should be made to live in other peoples situations.
To fully understand, The Prime Minister and the Chancellor must live 2 whole months, with their families, in houses they can afford, one on benefits, one on minimum wage.
Only after this should a Prime Minister or a Chancellor be allowed to make decisions about the lives and the well being of the people in the lower classes.
