I guess it is supposed to be classed as a vocation rather than a job, you don't really want people attracted by the salary and them looking to change roles in two years because they have been head hunted

Competent administrators aren’t earning multiples of the UK average salary. If you’re talking more about departmental leadership, £80k is still very high in many industries.

I find the idea that a qualifier to be an MP is to be prepared to sacrifice their own situation bizarre.
Turns the position into a quasi-religeous thing, surely? Martyr to the cause of public service.
If we instead looked for competent administrators with a firm grasp of how to make something work, instead of looking for those with a religious fervour to drive free-market ideals without ever having made said ideals work might that not be better?
