The case for paying M.Ps much, much more was being put forward by none other than Lord Archer this morning - same argument as the one for justifying the bankers their huge salaries and bonuses, we need to attract the 'best people'. Although to the interviewer's credit he did point out that this was public service, maybe in the great scheme of things our M.Ps aren't overly paid when compared to other country's parliamentarians, but they know the deal when they stand for selection and election and let's face it there's never any shortage of wannabees. The fact is none of them are starving, and the holidays are exceptional! Anyone watching the documentary on the Beeb about the House of Commons and the weird, time wasting, inefficient way they carry on must wonder why they don't take the advice they are so fond of handing out to everyone else. Work smarter, more efficiently, and that will make colossal savings..........don't hold your breath. When you watch the pantomime that is our government at work it makes you want to weep. |
