Remove the triple lock commitment on pensions and tie increase to inflation only

Closed 370 signatures

What the petition asks

We feel the triple lock on pensions is unaffordable and unjust. We think tying the increase in pensions to inflation only could ensure the living standards of those reliant on the pension are protected, and would be more affordable.
Get rid of the triple lock on pensions. We believe it is unaffordable, unjust and unfair on those who pay taxes to fund it.
