Make David Cameron pay the extra payments to his SPADs from his own pocket

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

David Cameron has forced through additional payments to special advisers being made redundant on his resignation as PM against the advice of the chief executive of the civil service.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-36808363
If he wants to do favours for mates he should pay for them himself.
People in the real world get made redundant all the time at no notice and have to take what the rules say (and sometimes don't even get that!).

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
