Its obvious that the actual earnings are not the main draw. If you see, read and watch the antics of politicians not chosen to contest in state and/or federal elections, you have this feeling that they are not there to serve but to earn much much more when elected. In UK, nobody want to be PM or MP hungrily and desperately.Same in many countries . Here, it is like ticket to heaven.

In USA it is a totally different story:

Joe Biden is now going back to what he has repeatedly characterised as Donald Trump's threat to democracy.

He speaks again about the Capitol riot on 6 January, 2021.

"On that day, we almost lost everything about who we are as a country," Biden says.

"And that threat is still very much alive.

"He's promising a bloodbath, if he loses, in his words, and that he'll be a dictator on day one, in his own words. And by the way, this sucker means it," Biden says.
