Re: One Job or Two?
Much obliged for supplying the additional information. I was hoping that someone would because I didn’t want to hog the thread. I believe that you should always leave something out that a response can refer to.
However, I’m thinking of “conflicts of interest”. There have been many calls to have fireworks banned because of the way they are misused. So should it ever come to pass that Parliament is discussing the banning of the manufacture, importing and sale of fireworks it would put Mark Lancaster in an awkward position.
However there is a much more serious point. Can anyone serve more than one master? Don’t forget that we, the electorate, ‘employ’ our MP to represent us in Parliament.
If an MP can find the time to do another paid job it really means that s/he is underemployed as an MP. This implies that an MP could serve a larger constituency without being overworked and that means fewer MP’s.
