What the petition asks

The Parliamentary system is currently failing us they're to busy bring self servant and power grabbing than sorting out problems.
Cut all the MP's wages to 37000 pounds a year (which is still more than the UK average, so they can't moan) and that will give us an extra 27.9 million pounds a year.
