It is time for our government to take a pay cut of at least 20%.
At a time when the country is experiencing massive financial hardship and many unsupported small businesses are going bankrupt, it is time for our government to follow the lead of New Zealand and take a pay cut of at least 20%. Time for our MP`s to prove that we are all in this together.
By publishing this petition, the citizens of this country would at least feel that the ones in power are understanding to the plight of the nation.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for setting MPs' pay. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is responsible for deciding on MPs' expenses and pay. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government.
