Rather than pay MPs more, we should also reduce the cost of being elected, especially for candidate with no long term political connections.

A general election campaign could cost as much as 1M USD (I got this number from a frontline party organizer), forcing parties and candidates to team up with shady plutocrats. We need to move away from district level elections to polling division/electorate level elections.
