Background
A member of parliament currently makes £93,904 a year which is almost three times the average annual salary. Linking it to GDP growth would mean that MPs could focus on delivering growth so that they can reap the rewards of their efforts. This is the right thing to do to restore the trust in Britain's economic policy.
