£350k is enough for anyone - says Labour!

[meridian]

Maybe that may have been true 30 years ago but not anymore.

What we have are career politicians - e.g. those people whose lively hood and salary are tied to being a politician - and that is actually quite a large problem as clearly for these people the politics is simple a vehicle for getting paid and feeding their family etc

This can clearly be demonstrated by those politicians who wake up 1 morning and simple change their colours, do you think that is

a) Because they have had a complete change of heart and now have new political opinions and view points

or

b) because the new party offered better benefits.

c) They’ve stayed where they were and their party has lurched further right/left (delete as applicable).

What “better benefits” do you think individual parties offer? They’re not football clubs you know, they’re subject to Parliamentary rules.
