Mp's Underpaid?
On the Today programme today, March23rd, there seem to be a feeling that British MP's were not paid enough. Whilst they might well be paid less than a number of politicians in other countries surely we should be more rational. After all, they aren't going to rush off and do the job soemwhere else.
What is the job description, get elected seems to be the only requirement and if we are honest, they don't get elected, their party does. If they lose office they get get rather generous payments, if all redundancy schemes were as generous that might be fair.
But what do they have to do once they have the job, as far as I can tell they hjave to turn up once and be sworn in. Do they have to attend a place of work, meet targets, even live in their constituencies. Let us be honest there are no constraints on MP's, apart from breaking the law, I suppose. So let us be honest it is the cushiest job going, free housing, no bosses, no targets, work if you want to.
Perhaps they should have to pay to have the job?
