introduce a salary cap of £40000 per year for all MP’s until Brexit is sorted.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

MP’s continue year on year to get pay rise after pay rise whilst the rest of the country suffers to buy basic needs. They have done nothing to calm the fears of Brexit yet award themselves a pay rise. Obviously not target led bonuses! Until this mess is sorted out wages should be cut.

Why it was rejected

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