I agree it is more than most of us can ever dream of. But so is the salary of those I've stated plus those of business people and lawyers. There should be an incentive for high-ranking professionals with a working knowledge of health, business, law and education to enter parliament.
£60,000 is a lot of money but, to state the obvious, it is a precarious position where for some it is only really guaranteed for 4 or 5 years, excluding safe seats. Why should a Headmaster step down from a relatively safe job and career progression, then take a pay cut, for what could only be four years?

Rubbish, High ranking professionals earn good money and earn it. How the hell can yeh call n M.P. one of those? What rank or degree do yeh need to be n M.P.? Joe Bloggs off the street can be one,if hes got political leanings, He certainly cannot just become a High Ranking Professional.
