What is particularly interesting about Compass’s campaign over high pay is the underlying attitude.
Compass, for those not aware, is a think tank that describes itself as providing “direction for the democratic left”.
Yet instead of providing any such direction, it is instead trying to contract out such a job to the government with he creation of a High Pay Commission. Paradoxically, a body that seeks to provide direction wishes for others to direct, and think for, it.
Their campaign has the signatures of a number of MPs, academics and so forth. Why do they nonetheless feel incapable of forming such a commission themselves?
