Someone getting paid 100k for a directorship 2 days a month and 82k as an MP 365 days a year cannot be anything but utterly conflicted.

It's not just 82k per year though, when you add it all up its hundreds of k per year but let's be honest it wouldn't matter what they're paid, it still wouldn't be enough
