Rejected petition pay mp's lower salaries in poorer parts of the country
More details
As per the proposal to pay public sector workers lower wages in poorer parts of the country I feel that it would therefore be only fair to pay MPs based on the average wage of the constituency they represent
E.g the MP for say somewhere like Witney (rural constituency) would earn considerably less than the MP for Kensington
