Every time I hear the guy speak I can’t imagine him in a room with any other world leaders not turning into an open brawl. Even if I agreed with his politics, the fact that he’s so full of himself would turn me off of voting for this windbag.
MPs are guaranteed a pension after spending 6 years in service as an elected MP.
He entered the parliament at age 25, ensuring him a pension since the age of 31. Although he still has to be 55 to actually start collecting it. Considering how long he has been an MP, he’s probably looking at pulling in at least 100K/yr from age 55 onward.
Try interacting with him, you will be left with no illusions

That’s what happens when someone gets a pension at age 31
Wait, what? If he’s retired, why is he running for PM?

Yeah that makes more sense and how I’ve understood it to work. Guaranteed retirement =/= retired.
And now I’m thinking about the video for DJ Shadow & Run the Jewels’ Nobody Speak
Never saw the video for that song, but yeah, that’s pretty much what I imagine would happen.
