Some get into parliament through loop holes by selling their souls (viz GRC system of elections (see quote below)). For every seat they are guaranteed, an opposition candidate loses his chance.
Even regarding NDP tickets, I guess some are entitled to sell them for profit, others are not allowed...
Depending on who U know, U can also use the 'dignity' argument to raise your own pay...
"If the annual salary of the Minister of Information, Communication and Arts is only $500,000, it may pose some problems when he discuss policies with media CEOs who earn millions of dollars because they need not listen to the minister's ideas and proposals. Hence, a reasonable payout will help to maintain a bit of dignity."
I just won 4 NDP 2014 preview tickets from online balloting. I never had any intention of attending anyway. I want to earn some quick bucks from selling them online. Is it illegal to do so? What is the market rate nowadays for each ticket? And which website should I go to sell them?
