This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition No MP's expenses
More details
Problem: MP's are falsely claiming expenses on things like second homes and movies. Solution: Get rid of their expenses. This would also give the taxpayer some relief. This would work because MP's have low pay in comparision with other top jobs, so most people are rich before they start studying politics, so therefore they already have enough money
