This petition was submitted during the 2017 to 2019 Parliament
Rejected petition Take away the pay of Northern Ireland MLA’s, all of it, every penny.
Rejected on
Take back every penny taken by MLA’s from the public purse. Every tax payer has had to work for their wage, yet a percentage is handed over to Northern Ireland’s non-working ministers.
If I applied for a job, got the job and didn’t bother to do that job, I’d quickly lose that job. This country is not a dictatorship, it’s leaders are elected by the people to take up the office they stood for and fulfill the duties they excepted. Accepting public money in office without applying yourself to do any of the duties you pledged to undertake is immoral or even corrupt.
Every penny they have taken should be returned and not another penny given.
