Yes, accurate. Quite easily solvable however...
It is my opinion that politicians should be stripped of all money and assets once elected, given a (say) £1500 relocation fee in order to rent somewhere to live and then paid the national average wage monthly in arrears with no expenses added or allowed for the duration of their membership of the house. Then we would see only those that really want to improve our society making decisions for us with a vested interest in raising living standards for the masses. I suspect that affordable housing and transport would suddenly move up the political agenda.
All the time our 'leaders' are on a 85k basic salary the majority don't stand a chance of being helped very much.
It won't happen though.
is it clean enough?
