Rejected petition call for mps to live on minimum wage for a year

More details

Prior to sitting in the house of commons prospective mps should walk in the shoes of the people they wish to represent.
This would give them an idea of the rubbish ordinary people have to listen to and put up with from priviliged career mps.
By making mps live on the breadline their attitudes to many in society may change, and we may have a more fair and just society
