I know very few people who earn less than £60k. I know very few people who have as much responsibility as an MP.
MP wages are kept artifically low by the fact that people are so easily outraged by their representatives earning multiples more than they earn down t'pit. Their wages are miniscule compared to a half-decent lawyer, accountant, middle manager, IT contractor. So we end up with a Parliament disproportionately populated by people of 'independent means' i.e. rich fucks. Might as well still be the C19th.
