A pay-for-performance policy might give politicians greater incentives to please voters. Although it may incentivize politicians and discourage corruption, the possibility of a large bonus may also cause politicians to create the appearance of good performance, even when they are performing poorly. Also, pay-for-performance for politicians might attract those who are interested in making a quick buck rather than public-spirited politicians.
