What the petition asks

In the last three years government has wasted millions paying people to behave like spoilt children. Westminster is not a creche, why should they be paid without producing anything of value? There has been no work done in the commons or house of lords to justify their income.
In party squabbling, cross party insults and lack of ability to listen to any opinion of people they repesent.Their behaviour is becoming more embarrassing by the hour.

Why it was rejected

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