Change all MPs and government wage to reflect national minimum wage
If wages were changed to minimum wage we would only have people in government who generally put the people and country's needs first, people who do it for the love of helping other and changing things for the better, instead of those just interested in being paid well
Drop all government and Parliament wages to minimum wage then the money can be recouped into areas that actually need it e.g. The NHS
Why are mps on such a high wage when the money could be used so much better else where. If people are passionate about working for the government they will be happy to do so on minimum wage and learn what it is like to live like the rest of the country. Those who are not happy working for minimum wage should not be working for the government.
