Rejected petition Stop members of parliament having such a huge salary

Should members of parliament have such huge salaries
I believe if they are passionate about thier country as they claim to be they would do it for the passion for thier country regardless of thier history or qualifications

More details

I want the goverment to understand what life is like and take the minimum wage not the massive salaries and expenses paid to them by the Tax payer
See the struggles every day real people have
Why should we pay to have them driven around
Why should we pay for thier accomadation
Why should the Tax payer pay for them to dine out
All these expenses come from the UK tax payer
MINIMUM WAGE FOR ALL IF SO PASSIONATE ABOUT THE JOB THEY ARE DOING
