To think MPs are underpaid

[Donotpanicoknowpanic]

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)

What do you think MPs net a month? In salary?

Why don't you just tell me?

Always plenty of people queuing up to get elected, so no, if anything they should be paid less with it being a buyers market...or do those rules only apply to the small people?

Presumably we don't care about quality carers, shop staff, cleaners, bus drivers, childcare staff etc because we pay them very little, or perhaps their work isn't important.

Ok. Up it to 6 it 7 times average salary. If they want more money then they'll need to improve the average UK salary. Essentially making their pay linked to how well they do their jobs

If they had to sign in and out and appear in parliament sometimes and sometimes take notice of what the general public actually wants maybe they would earn 94 thousand plus the freebies and that be seen as reasonable If they give themselves such a high salary it's reasonable to expect them to do more surely
