I agree for the corruptible yes, it’d never be enough. There’s also the likelihood that lobbying would simply become indirect via family members rather than bribing MPs to corrupt democracy in disguise.
It’d turn out their partners would have surprising expertise in many fields I’m sure.
On a blue sky sunny day I definitely think an MP - restricted in taking second jobs and “expenses” is worth in excess of 200k. As long as they have focus on who they are serving for their primary - and ideally sole - income.
