Parliament must end MP's perks and Allowances because they don't need them.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

MPs, various perks and allowances, contrast with the limited support available to the public. MPs should not be allowed to continue to claim taxpayer-funded expenses for their living costs.

Politicians should not be insulated from the consequences of their own actions in policy making.

There are an ever increasing, huge number of desperate people relying on charity for basic sustenance in Britain, they contrast starkly with the publicly subsidised elitist MP's with their over-privileged lifestyles in the UK's Parliament...

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.
