Another sign that our multiple governments is unaffordable. The pension fund for MP's is underfunded by $1 billion. I think Teachers is also underfunded. Sounds like Greece?
I do not know about thatI do have some sympathy for MP's. Very few go into politics to get rich so I think they deserve what they make. If we reduce their benefits too much, then only independently wealthy people would enter politics and that is not a good thing either.
True for some but not all. Brian Tobin made a fortune when his company was taken over.Ex-Politicians have plenty of influence and business opportunities (directorships!)
