  Keith - MPs need staff and the staffing level of the UK Parliament, supporting elected representative, is lower than in equivalent legislatures across the world.
  
  You need to bear in mind as well that these staff are at the sharp end in dealing with constituency case loads, the problems that you and I may raise, rather than what some might call the more 'glamorous' side of things. Doing letters, doing research etc all necessary in our elective system. They are not there for party political work.
  
  That said - on MPs pay they should be leading by example and have a pay freeze at least until after the election.
