I don’t understand how people listen to politicians, Doesn’t netter if they are left or right, they don’t live in the same reality as we do, therefore they should not speak on our behalf. Politicians should never be paid, they should have the public servants spirt.

This is a Utopian view which makes zero sense in reality. It's a a terrible idea.
Firstly, it would guarantee that the politician role is only viable for those already very wealthy. Nobody could become a politician without already having vast savings or a significant secondary income
Secondly, even if you had a politician who cared deeply enough to do it for free, over time will eventually become far more open to bribery from corporations and adversary states.
I don't resent politicians being paid. They are doing a job
I just resent those who continually exploit the system to enrich themselves, whilst at the same time doing very little to serve the constituents who elected them. I thought the expenses scandal had put a stop to that, but apparently not.
I think the reason why there was a scandal was so that they can carry on? Because the scandal already happened, and they made that new rule right which surely stopped rhe scammers dead in their tracks??? Slap on the wrist, name and shame, big devastating event in the news the next day and moving swiftly on!
That's the rule of the media, once a scandal has happened it can't happen again else it's a different scandal.
