People always defend MP salaries saying we need it to get a certain level of competence, but purely overpaying doesn't guarantee much.

However time and time again these people do things that wouldnt fly for someone nmaking minimum wage.

Despite how the article is portrayed(91% on the meta polls) all this guy needs to do is stfu and collect 800k.

MPs and all politicians should be paid the mean income of the people they represent. That way if they want a pay raise they actually have to work to increase the quality of life for the people who they represent.

Voting reform and people actually picking better candidates instead of trying to kick out whatever incumbent party out would go a long way for people actually worth their pay as well.

Letting mediocre politicians linger around the system to long is how we got Pierre.
