They don't just get that though do they, they get all kinds of allowances as well. I don't know any other job where you get an allowance for your house (including decoration), car, etc...on top of such good pay. |

But the salary is still only part of their 'take home' pay. |

The laws they oversee, the financial changes they make in the country, the international relationships they have to build, then enormous responsibilities they do undertake, not always responsibly I'll admit, but they are all thing which affect our lives directly or indirectly. The burden of that kind of responsibility should be decently remunerated....as should those others who have our lives in thier hands, those who work on public transport, medicine, airways, etc. If the system were fair I would not quibble about MP's pay. |

MPs have bowed to Government demands for restraint and awarded themselves a 2.25 per cent pay rise. |
