Okay hear me out on this
If you want high quality people you need to pay them
If not the best most intelligent people will pursue career's in business and we will be left with people making second rate decisions which are incredibly important for the UK
The UK needs to make the right decisions on a whole host of important topics (not just the NHS and benefits)
But policy's on AI, transitions to green energy encouraging businesses to invest in the UK etc
These are serious topics that require a vast knowledge to understand
If you want to encourage people who have that knowledge to be an MP and help make those decisions
You need to pay them the rate they would get from businesses who also want them
(I am not an MP and will never run as one so no one please say I'm trying to get a pay rise)
