Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

If the 🇬🇧 is in that much debt
You have to cut
Elderlys heating tax
Putting council tax up when you promised you would freeze it
You change elections to keep in power
And hurting the farmers
The economy has shrunk and has no growth
You in government shouldn't get a payrise

Why it was rejected

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

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is responsible for deciding on MPs' expenses and pay. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government.
