minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•5 days agoI think it’s a fallacy to argue you have to pay more to attract top talent The amount of times places then go on to select the worst candidate is astounding. They need scrutiny and accountability so the electorate can rescind their choice. The speaker should not come from MP stock either as that seat effectively has no representation, and no party stands in that seat.
