What the petition asks
Stop all pay rises for government officials including Prime minister, members of parliament and all other government officials
Because they have neglected to carry out the duties bestowed upon them in a professional manner. We have been lied to and the system has been cheated and abused by the current and past members
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for setting MPs' pay. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is responsible for deciding on MPs' expenses and pay. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government.
