My real worry is that we end up with only MP's that are worth the truly awful basic salary they get.

£64K basic salary + ludicrous expenses without any experience or training is awful? I can't think of any job with a higher starting wage. The constituency party gets you elected and the whip tells you when and how to vote. All you have to do is to attend a surgery every so often and nod your head sympathetically a few times.
