Some do go into it for the perks but they get found out eventually, just the same as poor quality Councillors.

I don't think that most educated people believe that being an MP or a councillor is a gravy train. (except maybe in 'the village')
In any case it is not a relevant argument for why so many of our MP's are moneygrabbing sleazebags, it's in the job description that they will be scrutinised by and answerable to Joe Public 24/7 x 52, it's also in the job description that the pay for this is £60000...if you are not prepared to do it...don't stand for election!
