What the petition asks
We call on Parliament to introduce financial sanctions in the form of proportional salary reductions for any who participates in fewer than 70% of Parliamentary divisions, with fair exemptions for the Speaker, illness, parental leave, and official duties.
MPs are elected to vote on our behalf. We call on Parliament to introduce proportional salary reductions for MPs missing more than 30% of Parliamentary divisions per session, with exemptions for the Speaker, illness, parental leave, and official duties. MPs are paid over £91,000 a year — we believe taxpayers deserve representatives who show up.
