Petition London weighting

London weighting was started to deal with the discrepancy between the cost of living in London and the rest of the country.

Average rents outside London are about £600ocm. In London the figure is twice that.

I propose that London weighting should be implemented for all on an income of £26kpa or lower, of £600pm to equalise accommodation costs.

This could be done in part by the government refraining from taxing those on £26k or less living in London, until the benefit of £600pcm was achieved, alongside looking to increase the London minimum wage to a realistic level.
