So the question is if you’re an educated, skilled, ambitious professional who can make 150k+ in the private sector, what’s the upside of going into politics? You’ll make less money. You’ll be hated by half the people you represent. You’ll have to move halfway across the country away from your family. You’ll have no privacy. And there’s a good chance you’ll be turfed from your job come election time - not because of how well you did your job, but because your party or party leader dropped in popularity.
The only upside I can think of is the pension.

These MPs are completely incompetent unqualified people chosen to represent in front of a camera, they don't do any actual work it is all done behind the scenes by consultants. Skilled professional and executives have to at least be qualified and have relevant training and education. Trudeau hires based on if you don't have a penis or were part of his wedding party. They are essentially being paid to do nothing and yes if they are part of a terrible government like the liberals or ndp they will be hated by most people and they knowingly enter into this arrangement mostly for the oversized paychecks and lucrative pension.
