Rejected petition Lower MPs wages to minimum wage and axe expenses altogether.

MPs wages should reflect the work they do for the electorate. They should be given minimum wage until a time the electorate decides they deserve a payrise. They should not be able to claim any expenses and imprisonment should be given, if they are found taking "donations" from big business.

More details

MPs are supposed to work for their constituents but they only work for their highest donors. Its time MPs wages are heavily reduced to reflect the work they do for their constituents or lack there of.
