People get weirdly irate about MPs salaries and expenses. But by far the bigger issue is that they're allowed to have second jobs and multiple income streams. A recipe for disaster. Pay them significantly more. But no second jobs. Do the job you're elected for.
@anon_opin pay them the lowest rate of social support that they decide on and ban second jobs

@schratze @anon_opin then only already rich people will take the job.

Or they'll get involved in insider trading

@smeg @schratze @anon_opin Similar issues still apply to the current implementation.
@flesh @smeg @anon_opin I want laws being passed by ascetic philosopher monks!!!
@schratze @flesh @anon_opin philosopher kings, one might say?
@schratze @anon_opin Both ideas frankly fit into "if you have the means to do that, just do communism".
@flesh @anon_opin fair. Just do communism. But don't have MPs be more equal than everyone else.
@anon_opin have MP salaries linked to the median average wage. Watch as pay settlements mysteriously improve.
