I strongly do not believe that higher salaries will change anything. In every country I’ve lived in, politicians are not there for the formal salary/responsibilities. Those are tangential. Political roles attract people who want power and control. The networking of favours is expected and emphasised - with money being the underlying foundation for it all. This is all quite obvious social science, and I’d be curious to hear others thoughts.
