Re: Parliament needs to reflect the people it represents.

Yes, Gordon.....it really only represents those who are in parliament.
It represents their desires and aims really well......but have I got this all wrong?
Isn't it the constituents that these people are employed by(not the political parties)?
Don't we pay them heartily for a job they do, with not our best interest in mind, but theirs?
After all, you never see politicians leave parliament destitute.....they leave far richer than when they went in....And they(likeTB) get richer still as a result of contacts they have made whilst in our employ, and deals they have been fortunate enough to be able to cut for themselves.
Nice work if you can get it!
