Reduce MP's salary to £50,000

What the petition asks

Reduce MP's annual salary untill our economy has recovered from the effects of covid 19

It seems unfair that the tax payer foots the bill as a result of covid 19. The current government is due to raise the taxes this march at the same time as giving MP's another pay rise. A reduction in their annual salary to £50,000 is fair and more than enough to live on in addition to their MP allowances. Lets see "we are all in this together" in action.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
