not to mention you get inundated with loads of offers to become a non-executive director of a whole load of companies which all carry an enormous salary for no work whatsoever.
IMO, being an MP is a crap job to take. You could become a big company director, work half the hours and earn twice as much for making the same pathetic/dangerous decisions and not get publically lynched. It's exactly the same job, you have to keep a bunch of the public (or shareholders) sweet by lying to them constantly, you spend most of your time feathering your own nest and you have to constantly come out with copious amounts of bollocks.
There's a whole breed of useless feckers in this country who all fit this bill and live far more rich and fulfilling lives than the rest of us because they have zero money worries simply because they talk the same worthless shite that existing board members talk. They're no cleverer or dynamic than the rest of us and yet they are laughing their asses off constantly at all us plebs (many of whom are way smarter and industrious).
I've met many, many senior members of massive companies through my work and how mediocre their minds are is stunning, and I'm no genius.
Revolution time.
