Greedy MPs are after a 32% pay rise
Posted: Sat Jan 12, 2013 8:57 am
In an anonymous survey conducted by the Independent Standards Authority, the YouGov poll, showed that over two thirds (69%) of MP’s say their £65,738 a year salary should be increased to around £86,250. Staggeringly, 20% of MPs are after a salary of £95,000 or more.
Unsurprisingly Conservative MPs want the most at £96,740, with Lib Dems after £78,361 and Labour seeking £77,322. Yes they are “all in it together” for a massive pay hike!
The poll results come just two days after MPs voted to cap benefit rises to 1% for the next three years, reducing benefit to the hardest hit by £256 a year by 2015.
MPs are whinging that “The quality of MPs will reduce if the pay does not improve.” And that we work very hard and should be rewarded” “many MPs have given up highly paid private sector positions to service the nation”
Dave Prentis, of Unison, fumed: “They are totally out of touch with working people.”
At least at these levels they shouldn’t “need” to fiddle their expenses but probably still will!

The bloody cheek of it as we are being forced to tighten our belts and go without pay rises etc. They keep cutting services cause they got no money so where's this gonna come from. 
At least you contribute new threads
