Rejected petition MPs should have income/wealth representative of majority

More details

Members of Parliament should be representative of their constituents. Therefore MPs' wealth/income should not exceed the average of the majority of their constituents.

A referendum should take place to determine whether the majority of voters agree with this rule. If successful it should be implemented at the earliest opportunity.
