Rejected petition Politicians take a 5% pay cut this tax year and put it toward public services

Politicians don't deserve any more pay rises, they should all take a 5% pay cut this tax year and put it toward the police, NHS and fire service.
Stop crippling the working class and start giving a little themselves.
