MP's to give up their pay rise for the inept failure to act on a Democratic vote

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

No matter how you think about Brexit, Parliament has failed the British public by not delivering a Democratic vote. Democracy as we know it died on 29/3/19. If anyone was working in any industry were this inept, they would be fired, let alone award themselves a pay rise. All MP's should not have one
Not one MP deserves a pay rise for the inept handling of Brexit. The democratic vote of Britain has been totally ignored. In any other sphere of business, they would all be fired let alone award themselves a massive pay rise.

Why it was rejected

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