A better approach would be for voters to elect better and more accountable politicians
This guy has an amazing idea: make political offices as financially unattractive as possible, ensuring that only individuals interested in public service contest them.

Paying politicians well does not lead to better governance. In fact, it might do the opposite.
This is 100% true. Politicians from developing countries are among the highest paid in the world despite scarce public resources, yet corruption is still rampant in these countries.
Many politicians earn huge salaries, which come from the taxpayers’ pockets. Their salaries should be lowered, and the funds directed to other causes.
