Rejected petition: Stop the salary for any politician refusing to sit in Stormont assembly in NI.
Rejected on
Require MLA salaries to be suspended when elected representatives deliberately refuse to take their seats in the Northern Ireland Assembly for political reasons. MLAs should not receive public salaries while voluntarily refusing to carry out their democratic duties.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
When the Assembly is functioning this is a matter for the Assembly itself and/or the Independent Remuneration Board, not for the UK Government or Parliament.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
