I'm pretty sure the PM is getting about half the amount the VC at my university gets for a more important more stressful job, there's just the cynicism of people voting to increase their own income (which I'm sure my VC does too). I always feel like politician pay should be based on the median income (like, starting at 80% going up to 250%) adjusted yearly or something. Not much reasoning, just idle thought on that though.

That's always been my take. That way if they want a pay rise just improve things for everyone and they get one
