Stop paying Northern Irish politicians refusing to form our government.

What the petition asks
The members of stormont are refusing to form our government but are still being fully paid. Suspend all pay and expenses without chance of back pay.
Anyone who refuses to work does not get their full pay. It is unfair that the main parties will not be working but getting paid by the tax payer. We had it for 3 years and refuse to accept it again.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We're not sure if you want pay and expenses for all MLAs to be suspended until an Executive is formed, or for only those Members not willing to form an executive to be penalised.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
