Rejected petition All MPs should be paid the average UK wage and receive the average pension.

More details

I believe that those in Government are completely out of touch with the plight of most of the people they govern.

To help Members of Parliament learn what is the plight of the average citizen of the UK they should share his/her lot.

I propose that all MPs be paid the average wage in this country and be entitled only to the average pension.
