Rejected petition tax payers paying for absent MPs

More details

Do you think that tax payers should pay the wages of MPs such as Gordon Brown who hardly ever attends the House of Commons.

And that if an MP fails to attend a set number of debates and votes (ill health excepted) he is failing his constituents and should be forced to resign and a new member elected.

Yes

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.
