Petition · past parliament

Suspend MP’s pay from the 29th March 2019 until they agree a deal for Brexit.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The government have had 2 years to get a deal. Now in the final weeks we still have no deal and an extension to A50. Force the MP’s to do what was voted for by the people that pay their salaries.

Similar to the US shutdown this will force the MP’s to stop bickering and trying to prevent Brexit.

Why it was rejected

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