Well, if politics want a better salary, they can raise the minimal
wages... for everyone.

Of course, but election is no better than random, and it might even be
worse.

Let's compare an honest modest citizen and a corrupted Mafiosi with huge
financial support from deleter industries (they want to get baby as a
product, to be able to sell it as a whole as well as in pieces... within
asbestos... to the Hollywood's forever young stars... )  :
* random : it's 50/50
* election : guess who has the most valuable campaign and get elected ?
