“I have reluctantly become convinced over the last few weeks that the most effective way of restoring public confidence in parliament is for there to be a significant increase in members’ salaries and an abolition of all allowances, save for the allowance to pay for staff and a constituency office”. The Guardian.

As I said a bizarre proposal guaranteed to do anything but restore confidence in parliament.
