We Will Cut-----------------Osborne: We will cut ministers' pay
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8292763.stm
Shadow chancellor George Osborne has said a Tory government would cut the pay of ministers and reduce the number of MPs.
He said it was important for Westminster to set an example at a time when the country was tightening its belt.
How tight is your belt. Could you afford a 10% cut, work longer etc for the good of t your country?

Well no, but then we don't earn the ludicrous amount MP's do ! And another thing he is suggesting has me I'm seething here today reading all the idiots on forums who think we no longer have any manual workers in this country and therefore we can all easily work far longer than we do now

I'll believe it when I see it
I know this is not the answer to your question but...
If this is anything to go by http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8196949.stm do you really think MP's are going to accept a 10% pay cut?? If the Tories get back in power (and I really hope they don't) then there'll be a revolt against the Chancellor almost immediately if he tries to push that through

No they would need to be led kicking scratching and biting into the chambers to vote IMO
