In a parliamentary democracy, MPs having certain personality traits are tempered.
That’s not really much of an argument. Don’t worry because although although Rees Mogg would like to abolish abortion for girls raped by their fathers, parliament won’t let him.

I'd still rather have Rees Mogg and Johnson than Abbott and Mcdonnell. The electorate really are being let down. Still I suppose if I can earn more than an MP you really are not going to attract the quality you need. MPs salaries are way too low.

You may think it isn’t much of an argument, but it is effective and that is all we need.

Although I agree, we have to hope most do it for reasons of altruism.
