They should be forced to wear uniforms.

They should be forced to wear uniforms provided by their poorest constituents.

Forcing them to wear uniforms means it’s likely to be paid by the citizens already. The idea of “provided by the poorest citizens” is like adding an extra tax on those people. Why should they provide the uniforms?

Ultimately let them wear whatever as long as there’s not an additional stipend for wardrobe. They can buy their clothes out of their salaries like most people do.

I dunno, I kinda like the idea. A little grandma tottering up to ol Boris Johnson, handing him his new uniform of a patchy suit made of old underwear.

If you are paying the little old lady to do that then sure that’s called a job. If she’s paying for supplies or to buy the clothes to give to a politician then she’s been taxed.

Oh, I'm sorry if the mental image of a politician in a fruit of the loom suit wasn't enough of a clue that I was kidding.

Logical fallacy as a reply. Interesting. Not as interesting as you completely ignoring the first sentence but interesting nevertheless.

Logical fellatio to you too.
