I think they work very hard and I think you'd be just as frustrated if they were down in Parliament all the time and not on hand to deal with issues in their constituency.

Just because they're not sat in the House doesn't mean that they're not working. In fact, they're probably working harder by being out of the House than by sitting and passing some law on whether it's permissable to fart on a Tuesday if you're within earshot of the Queen's corgis.
