would politics be more effective if politicians were paid less or even volunteers
personally i think the pm could do with a pay cut. it sould be a duty and honor, not a career. plus with his salary, how many more teachers could he fit in his budget.
if they did that to all politicians, how much could they save?
now yes, we would have a lot of politicians leave because theyare money grabbing bar stools.
but frankly do we want those politicians who are purely after the money?
if i remember rightly the uk pm earns nearly 200,000+expenses (thats 10 teachers/police officers) and most other politicians earn 50,000+expenses which even if you only include the 645 constituencies and not the other roles thats 32.5 million even if you halfed all their saleries thats 16.25 million to spend elswere , which to give you arough idea thats 800 teachers or other jobsetc. now i know this isnt going to solve unemployment. but its a start.
(and dont even get me started on how they spent and extra 50 mill on the olympic opening ceremony)
but theres my rant, what do you think
yes-it would show they cared

You can't have them as volunteers, you simply wouldn't get enough talented workers to run government as it is currently ran. But, I definitely agree that they should be paid less. They should be paid enough to get them by, and to live comfortably, but not to live extravagantly, as they do now. Side: yes-it would show they cared
