Re: Parliament needs to reflect the people it represents.
You're getting it all wrong!
Parliament does reflect the people it represents. MP's and Lords are people aren't they? Our modern Parliament exists to represent and look after the needs of its people. Think what a massive task- ensuring reasonable salaries, superb pensions, subsidised meals and drinks, expenses for everything from a duck house to a full renovation of a very necessary town house(for which Parliament pays the mortgage interest so it can be sold at a massive profit having cost the owner nothing). It's there to help its people get directorships, consultancies, big fees for half hour speeches(plus free food and booze). Etc. Etc. Etc. People complain about zero hours contracts but some of Parliaments people work zero hours(or close to it), you don't hear them complain! Parliament has to reflect and look after the needs of its 650 MPs and 783 Lords- that's a hell of a job. It really doesn't leave much time for it to worry about the other 66 million of us. I think it does a really good job! Well, it does if your one of its people. Otherwise- tough! |
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! |
Re: Parliament needs to reflect the people it represents.
As you can no doubt tell, I am somewhat jaded with the whole shebang.
Nevertheless, I await someone door stepping me so that I can ask some very pertinent questions. |

One politician I have a lot of respect for is Andy Burnham for his help to the families of the victims of the Hillsborough disaster.

There’s nothing wrong with being ignorant about how the elite control politics, or with forming your political beliefs thorough irrational thought processes......so long as you don’t vote :p |
