What the petition asks
A petition to change MP's salaries to the national living wage for the hours they work.
Thus saving the UK taxpayer money
Thus saving the UK taxpayer money
The government has for too long allowed MP's to have free reign on their income and expenses! Costing the UK taxpayer considerably!
MP's are public servants! They should be paid the national living wage in order to hold the correct values for the benefit of the country, not their wallets.
