What the petition asks
For 3 years the Lords, MPs and Civil servants have refused to deliver, on the Leave vote. This has caused untold damages to our constitution, parliamentary structures, economy and trust in democracy. I propose a 50% reduction in wages for all personnel involved in implementing the leave vote.
Due to the untold damages caused remain voters in positions of power, their wages should be cut by 50% for the same period of time as it takes to leave the EU completely. So far it has taken 3 years and no end is in sight. No other business would pay personnel refusing to deliver on their instructions, so a 50% reduction is generous. This should include all Civil servants involved in the process and all MPs, Lords and Judges.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
