Petition Details

I want the Government to take a look at the Actual cost of living and current income tax rates and increase minimum wage and lower tax to make it so people do not have to choose between eating and heating

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could ask for the minimum wage to be increased to a specific amount per hour, or for the rate of income tax to be reduced to a certain percentage below a specific income level.

We couldn't accept a petition which included a call for a reduction in 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.
