Reduce the government MP wages and increase wages of emergency services

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

After a long few months, the comparision between what the government has done and what our emergency services does not justify the amount of money these workers are getting.
The government should take a huge pay cut

Wages of NHS staff, firefighters and policemen should increase

Why it was rejected

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