Suspend MP salaries until we have left the European Union in full

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

As we currently see a self serving parliament who seem intent on frustrating brexit, we (as their employers) should suspend their salaries until a full and final brexit has been achieved. As set out in David Cameron’s leaflet. Leaving the customs union, the common market, jurisdiction of the ECJ.

Why it was rejected

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