Rejected petition Link MPs pay rises to the average public sector workers rise the previous year.

MPs annual pay rise is chosen by an “independent committee”, while public sector workers such as doctors and nurses pay rises are decided by MPs.

To ensure public money is fairly distributed pass law that makes MPs annual pay rise the average public sector worker rise from the previous year.

More details

This will ensure doctors, nurse and other public sector workers never again get 0% rise while MPs get over 11%.
