Rejected petition Prevent 2020/2021 pay rise for MPs

Prevent the planned wage increase for MPs.
At this time, during a pandemic that could potentially see millions unemployed, MPs SHOULD NOT be adding to their inflated wages. The total increase of £2,145,000 per year could be more beneficial to the NHS rather than in filling the pockets of MPs

More details

Defer further pay increases for MPs for a period of 5 years minimum. Award monies that would have been used for a pay rise to the NHS instead.
