How can MPs properly represent us when they are earning up to 95% of
their income from outside interests?

William Hague, according to the new register of members' interests,
makes about 20 times as much for not being an MP as he makes for being
one. We don't know exactly how much he is paid for his other 54 jobs,
because members are not obliged to reveal the price of work which
doesn't relate directly to their parliamentary duties. But he must have
raked in about a million last year.
