I don't think it would Margaret, the only MP I've come across who possibly would is the late Ken Hargreaves, all his life the only think he ever wanted to do is help others, it really pees me of when these so call big name politicians end up with all these titles lord this and sir that, if anybody deserved a knighthood it was Ken, they did award him an MBE which at least went part of the way to help thank him for a lifetime of effort on behalf of others.
