I have to agree with this, on its own 50k is not a lot compared to jobs MPs could no doubt get in the city, but when you add pensions and expenses it adds up to a more realistic figure. It just comes across as under-hand the way MPs get their money, imo it should be payed in full and open to scrutiny, a realistic sum for a back-bench MP today would be around 100k.
