aye, i've always thought tying an MP wages to the national average was a good call. but nurses makes sense too.

i like that he ironically hedges this one > A promise not to accept £5 million gifts from crypto billionaires (on Earth).

honestly, i've found that it's usually better to not engage in these threads. the likelihood of a good faith discussion is very low. as you point out, it's mostly ideological kneejerk …

you do get to have a say. contact your local elected officials. the democratic process requires effort from the electorate :shrug:
