It's now relatively low compared to MPs in rich countries. We have a lot of MPs, but I do think it's relatively low. I think the worst thing for the MPs is the public abuse. So it's become a very low-status job. And, of course, now they can easily be reached and they're also afraid of being attacked. And so a lot of it is just misery. And we still have lots of people who want to be MPs.
