What the petition asks
Whilst those on minimum wage struggle with 2/3 of their wages, politicians should take a temporary 15%+ pay cut, like footballers etc, to help the economy.
Because ‘we’re all in it together’.
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.
