I agree, well paid doesn’t mean good necessarily - there are no guarantees. But I am not saying that all well paid people should be MPs - just that there is a risk that the current pay is sufficiently low that some good people are put off. If I think how much I’d want to be paid to do the job, with no job security and a hugely elevated degree of personal risk / abuse, it would be a lot.

Earning more money isn't a display of competence, it's often, but not always a display of privilege, connections, luck and sometimes hard work and competence. Not earning lots of money isn't a display of incompetence, although it can be.
