Stupid move and will increase corruption if politicians are unable to maintain their former lifestyle. My local government is all “part time”, and get paid a pittance of $2,000 monthy despite the impact they have, so the only people who run for office are wealthy (with certain business interests) or poor and can be easily manipulated into doing rich people’s bidding to obtain more income. This is in one of the most educated cities in the country.
Singapore is one of the best governed countries and pays its politicians upwards of $1M per year.
Pay more for competence.

This sort of thing is really popular, but usually very dumb.
And results in things like in the US several legislatures being filled the already wealthy and fanatics.
Seriously people, if you want good people writing laws, pay them at least as much as the people who interpret and adjudicate laws, ie lawyers and judges.
If you want to executive leadership, pay your governors and presidents like they’re CEOs.

Good, they should do that where i live too.
For those wondering: according to [this](https://english.atlatszo.hu/2024/07/22/viktor-orban-has-the-highest-salary-in-the-european-union-in-ratio-to-the-average-gross-salary/), which I have not source-checked at all, Orban made €16k per month, excluding corruption.
