Cap MP’s salary to National Minimum Wage

Petition Details

MP’s are currently paid in excess of £70k a year, this is unacceptable. The government is ‘out of touch’ with the British people and need to understand how hard it actually is to live in the UK on National Minimum Wage. This petition calls on the government to cap MP’s pay to Minimum Wage.
