Set all MPs wages to National Minimum Wage and limit expences to curb corruption
MP's and the people who run our country should NOT be doing it for personal gain. Setting the wage of those positions to national minimum wage would ensure less greedy self-serving individuals take those positions. Greedy selfish people dont work for free like nice decent voulenteers would!
Money corrupts politicians and the political system. "big money" Should be kept as far away as possible from the people who are supposed to do what is best for "us" the country!
All the MPs on minimum wage would have the incentive to improve society and increase everyones wages, thusly increasing their own!
Investments/donations and "personal wealth" should be kept out of the political system entirely!
Expenses should be limited to 'reasonable' expectations...
