Imo, MPs salary should be £200k + and there should be an absolute ban on second jobs. Paying £130m a year for a parliament of high ability people with reduced incentives for corruption would be money well spent.
Fairly sure this will be an unpopular opinion though.

You could give all ex-MPs a pension and ban them from ever working again but even then they might do favours for Big Corp in exchange for a directorship for their nice but dim offspring or something.
