Rejected petition stop all MP's expenses and allowances £66,000 basic wage is more than enough.
More details
£66,000 basic wage is more than enough to live on. Most normal working people don't get second homes allowances and expenses so why should MP's. If an MP feels that this is not enough to do their job then they should stand down and let someone else in. According to several of the cabinet £7.00 a day is more than enough. If we are all in this together then why should MP's be exempt.
