40k seems about right for a glorified civil servant, although I do agree that expenses should probably be included with that, and by expenses I mean covering the necessary cost of your duties e.g. travel. Being an MP doesn't mean you're meant to live the life of luxury - it's to serve, not be served, after all :/

We still have some of the cheapest in Europe amongst the richer countries.
Although a little outdated in places: http://www.public-standards.gov.uk/L...king_Hours.pdf.
Doesn't surprise me in the slightest. We're far too harsh on government, both nationally, European and locally. And an MP is supposed to take on board your opinions when voting on matters within the commons, or suggesting something with some consideration of your problem. They don't actually directly provide any help.
One for the road. :rolleyes:
Civil Servants aren't constantly quoted in the media, asked for interviews all the time, under public scrutiny, work huge hours etc. £40k isn't an awful lot of money. If you can have another job that pays £50k or £60k, then you'd obviously take that instead.40k seems about right for a glorified civil servant, although I do agree that expenses should probably be included with that, and by expenses I mean covering the necessary cost of your duties e.g. travel.
