Restrict MP's pay rises to no more than the average public sector pay rise.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

MP's are being awarded yet another inflation busting pay rise, whilst other public sector workers are still being awarded much less.

MP's should not be awarded more than the average increase awarded to all other public sector workers (police/nurses/fire/amb/civil service etc).
