Please stop paying a salary to N.I. MLA's for failure to work. No work, No pay.
Our MLA's have received a salary for the last ten months although they have not worked in that time. Meantime our hospitals are in crisis with planned loss of vital services, some surgeries have no GP's, our roads need urgent repair, we need more investment/jobs and our education system a mess.
The MLA's have no incentive to work as they get paid for doing nothing but bicker about unimportant things. The DUP and Sinn Fein have been at loggerheads for ten months now and neither side is willing to concede an inch. If a new election was held tomorrow we would face this situation all over again and we just cannot allow this stalemate to continue. We stand to lose too much. We wish to stop their salary immediately unless they sign a contract to work together and not bring stormont down.
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 salaries of MLAs are the responsibility of the Northern Ireland Assembly, not the UK Government or Parliament. Salaries are determined by the Independent Financial Review Panel. You can find out more about the IFRP here:
