Yeah, and then get bought out by special interests? Nah, even the MPs themselves blackmail... er... I mean admit that if they're not paid enough they might have no choice but to turn to corruption. Poor li'l thangs.

Actually the initial pay raises began to pay them enough so the average person
could be elected and afford to have a home in the riding and maintain a place in
Ottawa. I don't want to see the pay so low ordinary people can't take part in the
decision making process, however this has become totally out of hand.
The other problem is the cost of getting the nomination or the leadership is now
out of reach of the average person, therefore they are above us and should be
paid a superior wage. This has now become an outrage.
I think we should be happy they don't want the same wage as hockey players.
Stop complaining and count your blessings.

Here is a novel idea. Hoe about we relate their pay directly to the budget. If there is a surplus budget they get to split 20% of the surplus amongst themselves, if there is a deficit they have to pay us 80% of the shortfall. Just thinking that might lead to some fiscal responsibility with our money.
