Link MP wages to GDP growth per annum

Link MP wages to GDP growth per annum — 6 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Link an MP's annual salary increase to the GDP growth of the previous year. This creates an incentive structure so that politicians can focus on delivering pro-growth policies that benefit the country while increasing their own pay.

Additional details

A member of parliament currently makes £93,904 a year which is almost three times the average annual salary. Linking it to GDP growth would mean that MPs could focus on delivering growth so that they can reap the rewards of their efforts. This is the right thing to do to restore the trust in Britain's economic policy.
