Having a salary cap for public sector employees might be another way of doing things - say the same level as the PM (£140K or so).

A more interesting scenario would be to cap all MP's pay, incl. the PM's, at the national average wage.

All that power and responsibility, and not being compensated for it could be dangerous. Wouldn't it deter anyone who wasn't wealthy from office, and/or make them vulnerable to corruption?

Serving as an MP is a privilege, not a normal job.

Make it the median wage rather than the average one and I’d agree with you.
