QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ Nov 5 2017, 07:18 PM) Wouldn't get out of bed for that salary. Thats half the problem. You should get a FTSE100 CEO salary. Its a bl00dy difficult and much more important job. The PM should get a million a year. Minimum. Business dictates that sort of salary to get the best people so why not the PM?

Ask any successful business person if they fancy running the Country and they will politely enquire if you have been certified .I don't know how we get away this continual merry-go-round of party politics . Any ideas forumites ?

Any ideas forumites ? Quite easy. 1. Abolish the House of Lords. 2. Reduce the number of MPs to 250. 3. Pay them a lot more. 4. Abolish all political parties. 5. Create new parties. One left. One Centre left One Centre right. One Right. 6. Get PR up and running. 7. Get rid of the speaker as an MP. 8. The House of Westmister should be a museum. Get a proper office for the MPs. Just a few ideas...

Just a few ideas... I agree with much of that. PR and state funding of political parties would solve a lot of the problems. Not sure pay would make much difference although it should be more.
