Petition Link MP's pay to the National Minimum Wage

More details

Review MPs' Incomes so to offer an incentive to improve the pay and conditions of the most vulnerable citizens, instead of (as at present) tracking the most cosseted by:
- linking MP's salaries to the National Minimum Wage, minus 1 percentage point. This does not limit the starting point for MPs' salaries, but once that point is agreed, future changes would be linked to the incomes of the most vulnerable working people: increase Minimum Wage by < 1% = no pay rise for MPs
- linking both conditions and limits for expenses to those typical of Local Government Employees
- introducing performance related pay by publishing performance indicators for each MP direct to their constituents - with automatic right of recall if they do not meet published thresholds
- make redundancy pay on loss of seat the responsibility of their party, except in case of boundary changes
