Limited MPs pay rise to the average for public sector workets

Petition Details

With austerity public sector pay rises were non existent or minimal and yet MPs continued to vote themselves above inflation pay rises. MPs should lead by example and limit their pay rises to that of the an average piblic sector worker

Additional Information

By not taking this or similar actions MPs will continue to distance themselves from the communities they serve. This has serious consequences for the credibility of Government in the eyes of the public.
