Background

We demand that Parliament, all receive a reduction in their salaries along with the removal of their privileges and benefits. Our taxes should no longer make these people millionaires at the expense of the people. We wish to make politicians, value for money.

Additional details

MPs should provide evidence of the work that they are doing for the country. If they are not performing then their pay should be reduced and face possible dismissal. MPs should be paid by the hour, and declare all income, be they they gifts or donations. If they fail to do so, then it should be treated as fraud, for which they should be taken to court. MPs should be accountable for their actions to face the consequences. They should face dismissal and and maybe disallowed being MPs again.
