Rejected petition Reduce the number of freeloading politicians / councillors

There are far too many MP's, MEP's and local councillors leeching off tax payers money.

Reduce all local council by at least 50% councillors
Dissolve Westminster and give each country their own Parliament rather than paying for Scottish, Welsh, Irish MP's then doubling up for Westminster

More details

There are too many duplicate roles for politicians which takes funds away from public spending.

Give each country their independence to lower the number of freeloading politicians to be able to give that revenue to fund social care, NHS, Police, Armed Forces
