So how do they afford to live in all these big homes?

They have jobs, Gonz.
it's not a full time position.

So there is no personal gain from becoming one?

Financial, I mean.

Not really, no.
My local councillor is a cabbie. He can spend all day on committees - licensing committees, planning committees etc, in debates, then maybe goes to a community council meeting in the evening. At weekends he might be opening a flower show, or a gala - something like that.

Somehow he finds time to go out in his cab at weekends, odd evenings etc.

Not as easy a job as it's made out to be, and you have to deal with a lot of shit.
