Stop all payments to MPs until we get a general election

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Those who voted to leave the EU in the 2016 referendum have seen nothing but delay and evasion. The opposition prefer to keep a minority government hostage rather than do the honourable thing and face the voters. Denying funding is now the only form of redress left to the electorate.

Why it was rejected

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

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is responsible for deciding on MPs' expenses and pay. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government.
