I dont agree if there are loads ... however ministers will never be experts when they get given some of these briefs. They will need subject matter expert advisers as the ministers could never have the depth of knowledge and could not be expected to imho. As far as their pay ... compared to major business they are paid peanuts and is why you get such low grade politicians / ministers. Take the Ocado geezer who has just been paid millions and millions in an ANNUAL bonus on top of his god knows what salary and compare that with a PM's salary and we expect k*obs like Boris to run the country ... most wouldn't cut it or get a chance to land these 'captain of industry' type jobs anyway.
