Members of Parliament (MPs) first received payment in the UK in 1911 to enable a broader range of individuals to serve in Parliament, particularly those who could not afford to do so without compensation. Prior to this, only wealthier individuals could typically afford to take on the role, which limited representation. The introduction of salaries aimed to democratize parliamentary participation, allowing those from diverse economic backgrounds to contribute to governance. This change reflected a growing recognition of the importance of representative democracy.
