Pretty much on the moneyYou reckon?
Cash For Questions, Hutton Enquiry, Cash for Peerages (2006), Cash for Influence (2009), Expenses, Housing Allowance, Chilcot Enquiry?
Plus many individual MPs acting less than honourably in many ways. Fiona Onasanya, Andrew Griffiths, Jeremy Hunt.
It is true we don`t need the EU for some things it seems.Ok, calm down Franglais, all the examples you give are valid. Buzzer’s point is equally valid
It took something as big as Brexit to show up their incompetence. They are now completely out of their depth.
The examples you give are of MP’s just going with the flow, feeling that they were in some way ‘protected’ or ‘immune’ from taking
decisions. They were probably towing the party line when they were voting.
That’s what MP’s do on a national scale.
They sort out council houses or potholes on a local level, but nationally, they’re just cannon fodder votes for the Party. They make up the numbers essentially.
Didnt the expenses scandals etc give you pause for thought about our MPs before this Brexit stuff? Buzzer and yourself are right that everything is writ large with Brexit, but it was hardly all plain sailing in the past was it? You do raise a very valid point of course: do we (should we?) vote in elections for an individual, or for a party? If the latter, shouldnt we have a proportional representative system?
