No wonder only idiots apply.
Pay properly, and expect and require high standards and no outside interests.
Quite simply, one is a great leader with enormous managerial responsibility and who's actions have a massive effect on our future, the other is David Cameron. a Headmaster of a medium sized school deserves the money he earns. The prime minister does not.
Maybe MP's are just not as good as they think and civvy managers out there do a better and difficult job.
Like the rest of us, if the PM doesn't like it, he can PVR. "Dave, KFC are recruiting burger flippers in Elgin".
