Rejected petition Force all MP's to live on £23 a week, the same amount given to sanctioned benefit claimants

More details

Petition to force MP's to live on the equivalent £23 a week, the same as sanctioned benefit claimants for at least a month, while shadowed by TV cameras for public viewers to see how they cope, this is in a bid to make MP's realise that Sanctioned benefit payments are unjust torturous and cannot be lived on. Their killing people and this must stop, I think this would be a good reality check of just how badly benefit sanctions affect the most vulnerable in our society.
