".
We voted in favour of all the amendments seeking to introduce greater transparency as regards the system of pay, pensions and allowances to cover essential expenses, and as regards the equal treatment of Members.
Having said that, we did not vote in favour of everything, because for us there are two principles which should prevail here but which have not been set out in any resolution. These are:
1
that the pay of a Member of Parliament should be no higher than that of a qualified worker;
2
that it should be possible for elected representatives to be removed from office at any time by the people who elected them. We are amazed that those who complain that elected representatives are cut off from the rest of the population have not thought of using this idea, which would certainly be appreciated by the general public."@en1
