      Think of it as a safety net, if you lose the election you lose your job… But the winnings of that bet would then help you out.

      If you win, you keep your reasonable lucrative job, no problem.

          That’s a fair point.

          If you were single and earning an MPs salary it could be a bit of a no brainer - could you get a other equally or better paying job within a few months? Considering you have been a politician for the last 5 years not an SME in whatever field?

          If you had a family on that salary, unsure. If you agreed it with your other half as a planned move, maybe?
