Cut annual salaries for all 650 MPs from £84,144 to £42,072.
There is a gap of around £55bn in the public finances. Soon there will be spending cuts of about £35bn and plans to raise some £20bn in tax in the coming years, it's right that the anual salaries of all 650 MPs should be cut by 50%. Lead by example!
If this petition reaches 100,000 signatures will go for debate and we are asking MPs and the government to draft a bill stating "anual salaries cuts of 50% for all MPs due to public spending cuts" and vote in favour for royal assent.
