NI People against MLA Pay Rise

Additional Information

The Belfast Telegraph reported on 14th March 2012
"Politicians at the Northern Ireland Assembly are to get a pay rise of nearly £5,000, but face hefty cuts in their expenses and allowances."

We, the aforesigned general public of NI, are disgusted and outraged at this decision.

We do not believe that our elected representatives have earned this reward, based on the underperformance on policy issues relating to the socio-economic development in the region and disproportionately negative correlation towards the electorate.

MLA pay rises should remain frozen without regard for excessive expenses being brought under control, until such times as socioeconomic targets are met for the electorate.
