Rejected petition Block MPs proposed £3,300 pay rise until COVID is under control.

It is iniquitous that MPs should get an above-inflation pay rise when COVID is still rampant and Parliament is not functioning in a Democratic fashion.
The electorate demand a say in the value for money that we get from our PUBLIC SERVANTS.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for setting MPs' pay. The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) is responsible for deciding on MPs' expenses and pay. IPSA is independent of both Parliament and Government.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
