Rejected petition representation

More details

Creation of Unemployment and minimum wage council.

The council would be part of the house of commons and lords. Its purpose will be to provide input for the unemployed and low payed around policy.

An MP or Lord make decisions on our behalf but they do not live the same lifestyle as the unemployed or low payed.

They have minimum experience in this matter but still allowed to make decisions that do not and will never in most cases affected their lives.

The council members can be chosen or voted and should be paid but at a level that keeps them in touch with low payed or unemployed.
