MPs aren't paid enough. If they were they wouldn't go out whoring themselves to big business.
Judges are paid a fortune so they can't be bribed. MPs should be the same.
Pay them £150k a year but say they cannot have any other earnings. That would attract the right people.
£60k for the importance of what they do isn't anywhere near enough, which is why you get the proliferation of the already rich and crooked gits.
An extra £60m on the wage bill is nothing if it meant the right people could afford to do the job.
