Enable MPs to exchange salaries with Nurses for a 12 month trial period.
I want Government to understand the economic challenges that health workers face and will increasingly face in the coming 12 months. Rhetoric is not enough. MPs experiencing the wage of a nurse would be an educational experience.
Leveling Up should be a very public and easily understood concept that would be easily demonstrated by such a bold move.

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.
