Rejected petition Stop MPs’ scheduled pay rise by £2000 to £82,000

We want MPs’ to shelve their pay rise for another year as their new £84,000 salary is scheduled for the same day thousands will face rocketing bills.

More details

Politicians are in line for a £2,000 hike on April 1 despite Britons facing further squeezes from National Insurance costs, gas bills and council tax. Politicians should be paid in line with the 'country's economic performance - to show we are all in it together.

Why was this petition rejected?

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

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. 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.
