Re: MPs Pay Rise

Guess which lot think they're worth the most? Here's one for for cmon, cut and pasted as he would himself.

Will MPs reclaim the power to vote against a pay rise?

It's worth remembering that a private survey of 100 MPs conducted by YouGov on IPSA's behalf found that 69 per cent thought they were underpaid, with an average salary of £86,250 recommended. On average, Tory MPs proposed a salary of £96,740, the Lib Dems £78,361 and Labour £77,322. A fifth suggested that they should be paid £95,000 or more. But would they have the chutzpah to vote accordingly in parliament? That seems unlikely.
