The pay is a large issue. In the UK, being a Member of Parliament, you get around £65k. That doesn't compare well to business jobs of similar responsibility etc.
Even the prime minister is on less pay than several civil servants which is ridiculous. No wonder we have so many people in government from wealthy families.
I don't remember quite where it was but I read that somewhere in Asia the government/MPs get paid a million or so, which results in better people, and obviously less corruption/fiddling accounts etc.
