Rejected petition Stop the government claiming expenses
The government have today targeted one ofthe most vulnerable groups in society to 'save' money. Well let our politicians do their bit. Let's have all their expenses stopped. It's nothing short of greed.
More details
Stop the politicians claiming obscene amounts in expenses and for the ridiculous things they put claims in for. The hard workers of this broken country can't claim extortionate expenses so why should the politicians? They get paid enough in salaries to cover their own expenses. Think of the money it'll save.
