    I know that my position won't be popular on this, but if we don't want monkeys, we got to pay more than peanuts.
    Sorry but that does not guarantee anything as has been proven time and time again. Fred The Shred being a shining example. By your logic if we paid enough we could have had that incompetent buffoon becoming interested in running the country. I rest my case!

    All other CS pensions will be career average from 2015, while MPs pensions will not be.

    Since MPs dont get career progression pay rises the advantages of final salary over career average are minimal.

    Yes but a large pay rise would be most beneficial!
    Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.
