The trouble is that it's a job that requires intelligence.

No don't laugh, I'm serious!

That means that it tends to be people with well-paid jobs and a pre-existing career who end up as MPs. They need paying enough to compensate them for their career going backwards for 5 years whilst they do it, and that does require a high level of pay.

I would also argue that the high rate of pay is commensurate with the importance of the job, regardless of the background of the potential MP.

Cheers, Tom.

    It's not a job I'd like at all! No matter what you do someone is going to be mad at you.
    
    Cheers, Tom.
