Petition Action

Reduce wages by 10% for all MPs for 10 years and ask the public for a wage rise.

Petition Details

Reduce wages by 10% for every member of Parliament. Lock the wage and salary for 10 years. Remove their right to increase their own salaries.

Additional Information

Members of Parliament should not have the right to increase their own wages out of the pot of public money. Members of Parliament work for us. They represent our interests. They should ask the general public for a wage increase. It is self serving and morally wrong to take what is not theirs.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is responsible for deciding on MPs' expenses and pay. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government.
