Rejection code: irrelevant (see below for details)
No pay rise to politicians and salaries to be made public knowledge.
A cut to existing wages/expenses, in this unprecedented time, politicians are over paid, with our hard earned tax money. With what WORK is actually done by politicians, we have no idea EXACTLY where our money is spent. In other businesses every single penny would have to be accounted for.
Take accountability and convey some form of care for the country they run. We are not paying taxes to be made a profit from so politicians can live a life of luxury and fall asleep/not even turn up to debates.
