Reduce Experienced MP’s salary from £150,500 to £80,000 & put back into economy
The wages of experienced MP’s are far to high and need to be reduced as they are able to claim a second income and make themselves out of touch with the rest of the population that they are meant to serve and provide with its best interests and not the party that they represent
For too long the government has been able to claim a second wage and live more than comfortably whilst the rest of the nation suffers the credit crunch and the rises in their mortgage payments.
