I don't think that MPs are in it for the salary. Most of them could use their slimey skills to earn much more in the real world. They are mostly there for power, vanity and the networking opportunities that will make them truly rich in years to come.
Dare I say that some are actually in it to try to change things for the better, however ineffective they may be. I would suggest reading Chris Mullin's excellent "A View From the Foothills".
