Rejected petition MP’s to live on Universal Credit for 2 months to realise it isn’t working.!!

MP’s live a comfortable life,no money worries,huge wages,rediculous pay increases,lining their own pockets while the lowest paid sector are having to go to food banks,get behind on bills,become homeless,cannot make ends meet and worse off on Universal Credit and in debt.No one is taking notice !!

More details

It’s time this Government listened to its own people.Scrap Universal Credit and make the benefit system fairer and less complicated.Too many people are suffering while this Government sit and watch them drown.The Government need to have a taste of what it is like to live on the bread line and see how hard it is not knowing where your next meal is coming from or if you can afford day to day bills and have to go without to feed children.They have it too good and wouldn’t be able to manage it !!

Why was this petition rejected?

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

We can't accept your petition because this would be a decision for individual MPs and not the UK Government or Parliament as a whole.

You might like to sign this petition to scrap universal credit if that is something you would like to see happen:
