No of course, and there’s never a guarantee against that with people who are elected. But the current system means people who are competent enough to earn more but don’t want to suffer a pay cut don’t apply - so they’ll always be wanting something to compensate for that if they’re to do the job.
That might be a desire to help people (good) or it might be a suspicion they’ll make contacts they can milk through being a politician (bad).

There are some really shit people earning the money some of you are claiming would fix the problem, a high salary isn't a guarantee of competence
