I wouldn't begrudge an MP that increase, mainly because I wouldn't want their job.
I'd give pretty much anyone a month doing that before they realise that there is no gravy train.

Bit higher than 1.85%..
Majority of Members of Parliament believe they are underpaid - UK Politics - UK - The Independent
I'm so tired of the 'politicians work very hard' argument. Some of them do, I exclude the Gordon Brown type, but they ain't the only ones.....
I got mail on Saturday morning, postman had walked 4 miles in a blizzard to get to work, once there he again braved the nasty conditions just to make sure I got some e-liquid for my plastic fag.....Care workers trudged in to ensure peoples grannies got looked after..nurses, power maintenance workers, police ferrying hot drinks in treacherous conditions to people stuck on the M6.....thats REAL work, and they are all underpaid.
