David
Cameron has been warned he will not be able to block plans for a big pay rise
for MPs.
The Independent Parliamentary
Standards Authority is expected to say backbench MPs’ £66,000 salaries should
increase to more than £70,000 from the election.
Prime Minister David Cameron has
said such a plan would be “unthinkable”.
Well this is comforting news isn’t
it, MP’s want to give themselves a pay rise of about 15% taking their salary to
around £75,000 a year, and the Prime Minister can do nothing about it, the
system works.
Is it just me or do politicians deliberately
try and make themselves unpopular, because they’ve announced they should all be
paid more less than a week after the spending review when George Osborne
announced that millions of public sector workers will lose automatic annual pay
rises, and those that don’t will see their increase held at 1%.
Now last time I checked MPs’ are
public sector workers so they should follow the guidelines set by the government, which they will have all agreed and had a say on, and be grateful that they already earn two and a half times the average UK wage
of £26,500.
