Personally I would ban MPs from having any other job while they hold office and strictly enforce the rules which are supposed to prevent an outgoing defence secretary, say, working in the arms sector for, well, make it ten years.
If you have to raise their pay to compensate for this and continue to attract people of the calibre of Grayling, Fox and Bozza then so be it. I don't mind MPs earning a decent whack but I would rather they earned it working for the country instead of their MP status merely being a springboard to lucrative lobbying roles which are effectively working against the country's interests.
