11% pay rise for Mp? No way!

Should our MP get a 11% pay rise? Simple answer no. It barmy even many mp think so.
I will be careful not to turn this into a rant but 11%
Where do they come up with these figures?
So let consider first they are paid well most of them circa 66kk I think with large expense accounts yes it can be a hard job with long hour some times I don't doubt, so 11% would = £7260 for a pay rise for a basic Mp even 1% is  £660 pounds a much more modest sum. Who suggest a 7000 plus pound pay rise? Imagen asking your boss for such a pay rise you would get laughed at.
At a time when the government is still cutting budget and some in power in regards mp wages has made this the official pay rise suggestion barmy! And to give  +David Cameron his due even he has said it wrong.
Much government employees are either on pay freeze or small rise or even losing jobs and they suggest a large pay rise are they on the same planet as the rest of us.
Say no to a 11% pay rise for mps,! Let hope sufficient Mp say it mad and wrong so this does not happen not that I am holding my breath on this.

I was just looking at the visitor location stats and it gave me a idea in the USA it is written into the consultation that the politicians can not vote them self s a pay rise what a great piece of law why don't we have it in the UK?

I have also had a thought why not send a letter to your local MP to display your dislike of this
+David Cameron +Nick Clegg +Ed Miliband

A quick question are Mp paid to much? about right? insufficent?
and do they deserve a pay rise>?

Thanks for reading
