Mp's to live on minimum wage

Mp's to live on minimum wage — 11 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

I want all serving MP's to work and live in the conditions people have to while working for minimum wage.

Additional details

MP's need to know how hard it is to live and work for minimum wage. All MP's should have to under go work placement in a minimum wage work environment for one month a year for every year they are in parliament. No savings used, all bills paid out of that month's wage and no 'gifts' from friends or family just so they understand in the real world just how hard it is to manage.
