Rejected petition Legally bind MP's pay rises increases to public sector

More details

Petition calling for MP's pay rises to be legally fixed to the same percentage point as other public sector employees.
I'm sick to death of hearing greedy MP's complain at giving nurses etc a 1% pay award while claiming to be the victims of a 11%+ pay increase in the next breath.
This is not a petition for higher wages but a petition to force greedy politicians to abide by the same rules as the as they set for the masses.
