In the news

I also don't think it's a quasi religious thing to want serve people despite being able to earn more elsewhere, the idea that the only reward from work or production is monetary is one of the bigger problems we face and that not being paid well over the odds is some kind of sacrifice is laughable, everyone deserves a fair wage for the work they do, the over inflated wages at the tops of banking and industry are a symptom of the problem, not an aspiration.
As well as MPs already getting plenty of money, the issue of not really being able to become an MP unless you can already afford wait until you get elected for a wage because you're independently wealthy or have the backing of a major party through connections is an issue. I reckon split an MPs job into elected MP and proportionately locally elected MPs assistants ideally from across the political spectrum (probably top 4 people on your voting card), assistants help the MP fulfill their voted for vision but are paid a living wage to do MPly admin duties around the constituency on MPs behalf say 3 days a week, when elections come round the electee gets bumped to MPs full time job and average UK wage, if MP loses office they're free to do living wage work 3 days a week or fuck off to a corruption committee approved job. Any skulduggery at any level is punished properly, with proper public warnings, fines, jail time, bans from office or all four. I'm convinced if you made it an actual job, with actual work and actual consequences for fucking it up then most of the people currently in charge would be uninterested in or unqualified to do it and we'd all be a lot better off for that.
