This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition Members of Parliament are also public servants.
More details
Members of Parliament are also public servants. They have currently been cutting budgets, freezing wages, increasing pension contributions and decreasing pensions once we retire but have not shared any of the burden everyone is feeling with rising costs and diminishing household budgets.
I propose that ALL MP's take a pay-cut in-line with the emergency service personnel who have the toughest job of all.
It is only fair especially after the expenses scandal they show they are "All inThis Together"
