Should polititians forefit their pariamentary pensions if they leave the economy in worse state then it was when they came to govenment?

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Good service would get rewarded


 


Yes, by being paid their salary and then by being reelected for the following term.


 


Even bad service would have its rewards while in government


 


Yes, that is the same for any employee. Even bad employees get paid and have access to any other benefits associated with their jobs.


 


Bad service also does carry with it some pretty nasty penalties - I mean they get publicly humiliated, crucified by the media, and vegemite sandwiches thrown at them. Just imagine what would happen if our Prime Minister got caught at the beach in her swimwear or sucking someone's toes on an Island holiday....


 


It is the pension I am refering to


 


I understand that. But it is part of the whole package of being the Prime Minister.


 


 



Some people can go their whole lives and never really live for a single minute.

I understand that Pods.  It's been posted about umpteen times on the boards so we all know it. It's just kind of hard to figure out why a man of your brain can't even spell parliamentary.
