Stop Prime Ministers who have a short service in office unproportioned benefits.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

The reasoning is that Liz Truss as prime minister has taken this country to its economic knees in less than six weeks of office. Dose this deserve £115,000.00 annual golden handshake?
Review this prime minister package and limit it to those who have served sufficient time scale such as at least a year (unless having stepped down for health reasons).
