Actually, I think they're underpaid.
All this talk of reducing their salaries is nonsense - it will just force out the poorer members of society
We have enough rich toffs governing us already.
They should get a fair bit more BUT expenses should be heavily curtailed.
And they should build a big block of flats for out-of-towners to use when attending.
No second hgomes on expenses.
A really decent wage and zero tolerance of any sort of dodgy dealings.
And no second jobs, board positions etc etc
Being an MP should be a really plum job, a real honour - it could be 200k p.a for all I care (there's only 600 or so of them)
But if you don't DO that job (turn up for votes, constituency clinics etc) or you try to turn it into a grift - you're out on your arse in disgrace.
