Mps Salaries Are Too Low...

[sp1814]

Do you agree that MPs' salaries should be increased by 50% to £100,000 if Britain left the EU?

I assume this is a base salary, not including:

Addition costs allowance
Travel expenses
Mileage allowances
Incidental expenses allowances
Staffing allowances
Winding up allowances
Resettlement allowances

Do you think that a 50% increase in salaries is fair, assuming a massive workload increase if we leave the EU?

I think if MPs salaries are too low then they can swop with me.

[boxtops]

No.

They seem to have time for second jobs

i don't really know enough about it to make meaningful comment, I will however point out that there as many hours in the week if we are in europe or not, so i can't really see hoe theyd be working harder

Most certainly not, I think they should be part of the cut backs that they impose on everyone else.

Ian D-H Smith , wasted 40 mil on a computer system that did not work,
so he should have his salary reduced until he has paid us back.

They are getting 11% after the election, this is after saying public sector workers will not get anything above 1% for at least 4 years - so no most definitely. And after all the scandals I don't know how they have the gall to demand a raise at all.

Labour Governments can only dream of wasting as little as '40 mil'.

well it's the old adage, pay peanuts....etc yes too low and too many of them, double their wages and have their number and rein in the exes.

[DaisyNonna]

Perhaps as an alternative they could increase my pension. 5% would be appreciated. Massive workload increase? What work do they actually do themselves?

[Cloverjo]

No. I'm sure they work long hours, but so do nurses etc. who were denied their measly 1% pay rise.

[mikey4444]

To suggest that a 50% rise in pay for anyone, let alone MPs, is acceptable these days is ludicrous. I thought we were all in this together ?

[yansee]

Certainly not! they are mostly a bunch of self serving incompetents,lots with 2nd jobs or wealthy families,( in laws as in Cameron & the completely useless IDS)
