Last push: stop the 11% MP pay rise!

31 May 2015 — The time has come to send a strong message to David Cameron that an 11% pay rise for MPs is unacceptable. Over 359,000 signed this petition to share their views. 

It’s been over a year since the petition went viral and gained huge support in a short space of time. I can’t thank you enough for signing, sharing and taking the time to write your personal stories and comments. 

I decided to wait until after the General Election to hand in the petition, to ensure the person in charge would be around long enough to make any changes. It happens to be David Cameron again, so he now has the time to apply the brakes on IPSA’s proposal.

Most people who signed have been negatively affected by austerity, or know someone who has. David Cameron should spend time reading our comments on this petition as they show the true meaning of the campaign; Britain is feeling the strain, with the most poor and vulnerable in society paying the price. 

David Cameron has the power to change this, and he has the power to say no to the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority who is suggesting this huge pay rise.

MPs shouldn't be rewarded while austerity and public service cuts are in place for the rest of Britain.

With only one week to go until the petition is taken to Downing Street, please give it one last push and share with your friends and family on Facebook, Twitter, email, phone, telepathy, Morse code, or however you communicate. 

Let’s send a strong message that if Britain isn't getting a pay rise, neither should MPs.
