They should just be up front about their pay, have an independant body figure out a fair pay structure and then tie any increases to inflation.
Edit: to answer you're question. I don't expect them to pay it back. The voters should take their character into account when voting though.

The Wildrose (Paul Hinman) put out a release in 2007 when this was first being bantered about. It never grew legs.
The Liberals brought it up (2009 'ish I believe) again, it never gained traction.
