Rejected petition Stop MLA's being paid for doing nothing and teach them the spirit of compromise

Northern Ireland's political system is broken; it's people cry out for a functioning, devolved government. We are dejected by the indifference of our politicans who put party one-upmanship before the real issues of a struggling people. Would Labour or Torys be paid for failing to attend Parliament?
