Freeze MPs wages and cap expenses. The British public will not fund 2nd homes

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

MPs have inflated wages and huge expenses that the British tax payer fund. MPs wages should be frozen and expenses capped to a maximum of £50,000 per year.
The British working classes refuse to fund their luxury lifestyles.

2nd homes, gardeners, cleaners, decorators etc should not be paid for by the working classes. Many people struggle with food banks. Many people can’t afford food and heating. People living on the streets are left to rot. It’s time for change, it’s time for our taxes to pay for the good of the country and not the greedy politicians

Why it was rejected

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