They should lead by example in times of austerity.

Why not move parliament to somewhere else, up north maybe, that would be far cheap in the long run with all this second house bollocks. Big row of terraced houses with a community centre in middle, job done!

The thing is MP's have absolutely no influence in it either way.
Our local MP has been quite vocal about how he already considers himself very well paid and that this rise gives out all the wrong signals but there is nothing he can do about it.

Do most MP's not make more money elsewhere? Mostly doing things they shouldn't be but other business interests or whatever.

They should be paid £150,000.
That way the jobs would attract the brightest best working class people who would have no outside interests such as being directors of companies which take up a % of their time and who would be 100% focused on the job. Rather than only attract the wealthy who will no doubt have other interests which could distract them.
The expenses system should be scrapped though. The government should build or buy apartments near to parliament for them to stay when in London and away from their constituency.

No because you've trained more,
Have new responsibilities etc.
And you effectively have a new role,
That's different to getting 7k for doing nothing new.

On the face of it I see no problem as its buttons.
But the whole rest of the place is supposed to be doing their bit and mucking in. So it seems insensitive to say the least. For what they do they don't get paid a lot, but as mentioned they earn the majority of wonga outside of that.
So I call shenanigans
