Rejected petition I want to see MPS wages reduced by 25% and expenses capped to £10,000

"We are all in it together"

"Doctors need to move with the times and provide a better service "

The Country is seeing council tax increases and cuts/privatisation of public services. MPs had a 10% pay rise and unlimited expenses. Is this fair?

More details

In a time of Austerity why are MPS avoiding any cost cutting or contract changes when every other Public Servant is?
