Like Harry said earlier, a PM needs to set an example unlike what donkey Cameron does and those of his ilk.
Take a bow, Jose Mujica, former president of Uruguay. We need more politicians like him.

The Prime Minister used a Cabinet meeting this week to tell ministers not to publicly say that they would donate their 10 per cent salary rise to charity.

I really cannot believe how some of you are defending the indefensible, it strikes me that there is an attitude of I'm alright jack coming through here. These MPs applied for a job around a month ago, conveniently a so called independent body recommend a 10% rise within a month of the election this body cannot be made up of the same people who go to my shops, get my utility bills or see what ordinary workers have to put up with, the Mps knew the job description so they can't be compared with Industrial leaders, what do they produce except for bullshit and spin? , as for pensions NO one on here will get a pension anywhere near an MPs pension, so don't try to defend that also, les NO im not jealous im angry and pissed of being taken for a fool, by these so called leaders of the country, haha they need summonsing under the trade descriptions act.

The independent body is totally independent, and the rise was decided on months ago. They are just talking about its implementation now.
The pension they get has also been reduced in value so it is in line with the public sector, hence the reason they have to pay more into themselves.Keith Driscoll - Administrator

Harry, I'm grateful for the state pension also no one is defending MP's but just look what money footballers and F1 drivers etc. get as a salary compared to MP's that have a large amount of responsibility to the whole nation and have an impossible task of pleasing everyone all the time, and for that they get paid peanuts!

Ok Harry let's not have a government and see what happens then
They are no where near paid as much as high flyers,footballers,one direction etc etc.
It's a very important job and I'd rather have someone who has had a good education dealing with the country's woes than a bunch off the Jeremy kyle show.
I'm not sad for them but as politicians they are toward the lower end of the pay scale as far as comparable countries pay their MPs
I guess you are totally against MPs in general Harry, maybe you should apply

In comparison to those people running local councils, MP's are about £50,000 worse off.
