Reverse the recent politicians wage increases of upto 35%

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

We have recently been told that people struggling must live within their means. This is an impossibility for many people. They're overworked,underpaid unable to afford to pay bills or buy food, this is without 'luxuries'
We ask to see MP's, Cllrs and all politicians live within their means also.

A vote in this direction would show the public once and for all that our MP's are here for their people and not just their own party.
Any vote seen to be done from now on has no subject title, any vote is now literally seen as Tory V Labour regardless of the outcome or current concern.

This is a fair,equal and honest way of helping the people, while still keeping part of the unnecessary 11%,27% and 35% recent wage increases.
3% is a brilliant wage rise for politicians (public service workers).

Why it was rejected

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

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.
