MPs Pay Rise
 

BBC News - David Cameron 'warned he cannot stop pay rise for MPs'

It seems that the ipsa have recommended a rise in MPs salaries from £66k to £70k after the next general election, and eventually rising to £75k but they'll have to pay a bit more for their pensions:eek: I'm sure accyman will join me in saying that our MPs are worth every penny of these rises, not,:mad: The galling part about it little can be done to stop these rises happening:mad::mad:

I don't buy the fact sod all can be done, Whats to stop him asking the general public if I.P.S.A. should be scrapped if they fail to listen to the publics wishes? After all if I.P.S.A. cannot represent standards, then what use are they?

Think you'll find it would be harder to scrap and independent body than blocking the pay rise, that's why they're independent, and always remember Cameron might not be the one having to make the decisions come 2015:rolleyes:

Re: MPs Pay Rise
 

Having said that I'm sure you think our Graham would be worth every penny of that rise if he were to be re-elected in 2015 Cashy:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:;)

Re: MPs Pay Rise
 

None of em whatever party are worth a penny more than ordinary voters are being allotted.;)

He can't stop it because he doean't really want to.(weasel words from a politician who is trying to bamboozle the voters with this bluff - telling them what he thinks will show him in the best light..like he is feeling our economic pain. GONADS!)
Where there's a will there is always a way.......Isn't this man the Prime Minister?

Re: MPs Pay Rise
 

Guess which lot think they're worth the most? Here's one for for cmon, cut and pasted as he would himself.

Will MPs reclaim the power to vote against a pay rise?

It's worth remembering that a private survey of 100 MPs conducted by YouGov on IPSA's behalf found that 69 per cent thought they were underpaid, with an average salary of £86,250 recommended. On average, Tory MPs proposed a salary of £96,740, the Lib Dems £78,361 and Labour £77,322. A fifth suggested that they should be paid £95,000 or more. But would they have the chutzpah to vote accordingly in parliament? That seems unlikely.

Are we still all in this mess together??

Re: MPs Pay Rise
 

Absolutely! Though as usual the majority are expected to tighten their belts far more than others!

Re: MPs Pay Rise
 

What is an ordinary voter?

How much should they be paid and what sort of job/salary would you compare them to.

Re: MPs Pay Rise
 

any Mp with any shred of dignity and self resect would turn down this payrise especially in current times where Mp's are justifying cuts to the likes of teachers and nurses and not to mention the vulnerable in society

maybe our MP can start the ball rolling and see if any of his collegues will stand with him in not accepting the payrise ?

oops sorry my bad i thought i wa sin the jokes section :o

Oh dear what's happened to the cheery atmosphere of optimism that was demanded by an ex pat that owns most of Accrington and therefore thinks he tell us what to think?

Well here goes, I'll start, (whilst tugging my forelock in the general direction of Singapore), The above quote was from my soon to be published book on 'Myths, Fairy-tales and gullible people'

To keep it in line with the thread it will only be available online for a paltry Kings ransom, which coincidentally has a purchase price that will be kept inline with Parliamentary pay rises, so that at least one of us, (me), will benefit from any extra they may get.
