And how does that make a difference?Especially now that we are able to scrutinise their expenses and grace and favour housing etc.If the job was that poorly paid we would have a hard job finding anyone who would do it.However I've NEVER seen any problem getting people to stand as MP's.
How many have other jobs as a sideline and are silent directors in industry and retail?It's not like most are just picking up the £50k and that's it.Many are doing very well indeed and when they retire will be fairly well off.
