Question

Should being a Member of Parliament be a full time job, It pays a full time salary?

Answer 1

You'll be hard put to find any MP's who work less than 60hr's a week.

Answer 2

have you ever watched Parliament on free view TV the last time i looked in there was no more than 10 MPs there and they all looked pissed or dead

Answer 3

No, we should give them the rest of the pay for sweeping the streets. It is all they are good for anyway.

Answer 4

It is a full time job. When they arent at the H of C they are in their constituencies doing stuff.  Our MP gets invited to every kind of gathering there is, and generally turns up. He also does a lot of work for people with complaints (I know cos I refer people to him when they have a real serious grievance). Maybe he is one of the few who do work hard. But nice chap as he is, I dont vote for him.

Answer 5

they should do it for nothing, that would sort out the ones that do it for principles from the money makers

Answer 6

A bit harsh considering they have their second home to refurb when they get home....Chosing colours can be time consuming and what choice of plasma to have....

Answer 7

Don't be silly, how on earth would those sponging cretins manage to work a full year???????????
