Members of parliament voting in favour of lockdown give up 20% of their wages.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Join in with the suffering of the millions affected by their decisions. A gesture of unity with the nation. In line with the 80% furlough scheme. Those who voted in favour should receive only 80% of their wage with the additional 20% helping those in need.

It is clear they have lost the trust of the majority of the nation. A step like this would show some compassion and willing to help the country. We are seeing a huge increase in suicide rates, mental health break downs and debt. Let us see these politicians also working with the country who are expected to just follow their choices blindly.

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.
