I think ministers and those that have extra responsibility to the nation should get more.

But for your 'run of the mill' back bencher I think 60,000 + all the other benefits as more than generous.

I mean I have to admit some ignorance, but what does a typical backbencher do? Apart from answer letter (which they can employ someone to do) and attend civic events, and the odd radio talk show.
