PIty The Poor

I generally support increasing the pay of elected officials (and civil servants!), but it's usually the wrong people who complain about their poverty...


A Conservative MP who claimed that MPs could not live on £67,000 a year has put his house on the market and is in line to make £9.5m profit.

...

"Two thirds of MPs took a pay cut to enter Parliament, that's the system under which we are operating," he added.

That says more about who gets elected than the salary.
