Oh, come on Neil.
Don't you think that MP's network while they are in office? They know people, who know people who will help them out with a job.

Many of them have second jobs as 'consultants' in some capacity or another...and if that isn't the case, and they haven't managed to save a bob or two whilst in parliament then they are just plain daft.

The main problem is, that having been an MP, they see themselves as a cut above the rest of us..as a consequence of this, they want to lead the same lifestyle out of parliament as they did in it.
