Rejected petition Suspend the salaries of Northern Ireland MLAs.

People of Northern Ireland, are sick, sore and tired of our politicians and their continued impasse while only we suffer. The only option is devolution and shared government. The only way to force this is to suspend the salaries of all MLAs until such a time as they return to a functioning assembly.

More details

We do not believe direct rule from London is a valid option due to there being no nationalist representation in Westminster and the DUP's deal with the Tory government which leads to obvious conflicts of interest.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The salaries of MLAs are the responsibility of the Northern Ireland Assembly, not the UK Government or Parliament. Salaries are determined by the Independent Financial Review Panel. You can find out more about the IFRP here:
