Following its recent public consultation, IPSA confirms in this report that MPs' pension contribution rates will increase by 1.85%. The increase will take effect from 1 April 2012. Given the increases in pension contributions in other public service schemes, IPSA has decided that it is appropriate for MPs to pay more into their own pensions. This decision also recognises the vote in House of Commons last year calling on IPSA to increase pension contributions in line with increases in other public service schemes. Unusually, in their current pension scheme, MPs can select the rate at which they accrue benefits - 40ths, 50ths, or 60ths of their annual salary. In recognition of the already high contribution some MPs make to their pensions (11.9%), IPSA has decided to allow MPs to change the rate at which benefits accrue. Should MPs choose to reduce the rate of their accrual, their contributions would be lower but so too the benefits they receive from the taxpayer. The contribution increase is an interim measure as IPSA carries out its longer term review of pay and pensions - a review which will be complete by the end of 2013 and which will make MPs' remuneration sustainable and fair to MPs and taxpayers alike

Exploring unique survey and interview data on the personality characteristics of British politicians, this book provides a timely psychological analysis of those individuals who pursue political careers and how they represent their constituents once elected. Focusing specifically on the Basic Human Values of more than 150 MPs as well as hundreds of local councillors, Weinberg offers original insights into three compelling questions: Who enters politics and how are they different to the general public? Do politicians’ personality characteristics matter for their legislative behaviour? Do voters really get the ‘wrong’ politicians? Taking a fresh psychological approach to issues that are predominant in political science, this book casts new light on the human side of representative democracy.
