Arthur does tend to get his facts mixed up
MP's pay as with any job should be high enough to attract the most skilled .We want skilled politicians (even more so now in the current social and economic climate ) so we should be prepared to pay for them ,that doesn't mean we should just give them an open cheque book as has been the case in the past ,they should be open to scrutiny when spending public money as they are now
