Cut Mp salaries

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

There is a cost of living crisis! Mp should not have second homes they should not earn astronomical salaries. We need a people’s government! It’s time for a change.
Save money but cutting fat cat salaries. Cut MP pay ! I would be an mp for 30,000 not 90,000

Why it was rejected

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