Politicians are too expensive: reduce their salaries and remove their privileges
We demand that Parliament, all receive a reduction in their salaries along with the removal of their privileges and benefits. Our taxes should no longer make these people millionaires at the expense of the people. We wish to make politicians, value for money.
MPs should provide evidence of the work that they are doing for the country. If they are not performing then their pay should be reduced and face possible dismissal.
MPs should be paid by the hour, and declare all income, be they they gifts or donations. If they fail to do so, then it should be treated as fraud, for which they should be taken to court.
MPs should be accountable for their actions to face the consequences. They should face dismissal and and maybe disallowed being MPs again.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for setting 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.
You can find out more about IPSA here: www.theipsa.org.uk/about-us/
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
