Han Dong-hoon, chairman of the emergency committee, said last time that he would reduce the number of lawmakers to 250 by winning the general election, and this time he talked about reducing the annual salary of lawmakers to the level of national median income.

I disagree with both of his arguments for the following reasons.
.

First, reducing the number of members.

The total amount of work to be handled by the National Assembly is set, so if the number of lawmakers decreases, the work given to one person will be more heavy. In the future, society will become more complex, and if fewer lawmakers have to handle more work, there will inevitably be more frequent work gaps than now.

In particular, the area to be managed by district councilors will be wider, and thus the authority of individual district councilors will be even greater.

On the other hand, reducing the number of lawmakers means giving individual lawmakers more privileges. It is obvious that each lawmaker will have more duties, and thus their rights will increase accordingly.

Is the argument to increase privileges to a small number of people appropriate for the current era.
.

Second, cuts to council tax payments

This argument is more extreme populism than the first.

Reducing the parliamentary tax expense to the national median income extremely reduces the incentive for smart and capable experts and social figures in each field to be interested in politics.

In particular, nowadays, it is only a matter of time before politicians often shake off their personal lives and their families, and they are buried socially with every word they say while discussing moral verification every time. No matter how much a member of the National Assembly is a position that serves the country and the people, if he or she is not compensated accordingly, a man of great ability will jump into politics risking the possibility of damage.

Unless you have a rich background like Yoon Suk Yeol and Han Dong-hoon, who don't need to stop being in politics, and honor is more important, the majority of those in the political and financial world, industry, and academia, will remain indifferent to politics.

This could result in only those who have nothing to lose snooping on the political world, causing quality deterioration in society as a whole and a moral hazard of taking back the money with money.

I think the annual salary of elected officials should be higher than the amount they receive now, but if corruption using public service is discovered and convicted, the punishment for the crime should be strengthened.
