Pay all MP’s exclusively in “claps” until our care workers are paid correctly

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Since this government seem to think shops, landlords and utility companies are going to allow clapping for our careers as currency, lets change the salary rate of all MP’s and their aides to “claps per hour” until such time as these elected clappers see fit to pay our care workers properly
“Tell us more about why you want the Government or Parliament to do it”

Basic human decency.

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.
