Closed The bedroom tax should extend to cover MP's who claim 2nd home allowance but have more bedrooms than they need in the 2nd home

Closed on

As 'we are all in it together' it is only fair that the people who govern are subject to the same rules as the goverened. In the case of the bedroom tax we feel it would be hypocritical of MP's to claim 2nd home allowance if the home they are claiming on has more bedrooms than they need

The same rules that apply to people who will be affected by the bedroom tax should also be applied to MP's with no exceptions and the penalties must also be equal.
