What about ensuring that when people become MPs they continue to be paid by their previous employer at the same rate they were earning. They can then invoice the parliamentary expenses bods who can cover the cost. That would mean that there was no financial incentive or disincentive to become an MP and they could be means tested to ensure there is no scamming going on.
I also think they should have to wear clown outfits. All of these oxbridge twunts in their tailored suits and shiny shoes yield no respect from the majority but if we were to make them look embarrassingly ridiculous, we would always know that they were in it for the public good and not for the glamour.
I for one would have an awful lot more respect for an MP that donned his red nose and his massive shoes and went out to do good for the public rather than swanking about looking like they do lunch for a living.
EDIT: Same goes for the police, dress ’em as clowns. The kids will love it and I cannot imagine anything more scary than a dawn raid by heavily armed clowns.
