Rejected petition Reduce the Number of MP's

More details

It is time to cut the number of MP’s in Leeds we have 8 MPs we do not need that many at most all we should have is four splitting the city into North, south, east and west. This would save the country a fortune is wages to MPs and their expenses. I addition we also have European MPs again these numbers should be cut. This would fall into line with the Prime Ministers cuts to the public sector MP’s are part of the Public sector who are not challenged they can do whatever they like often giving little to their constituency the only power we have is every five years when we go to the polls.
