Wish I could have got on their gravy train years ago.
I know there are some fine MP's out there but they are the ones that keep out of the limelight and get on with their jobs.
It's the slimy bastards from all parties always on telly, never answering a direct question with a straight answer that make you think what is the point of voting when they are all the same.
Hopefully we will get another inspirational figure one day who will reinvigorate our desire to vote and oust the tossers on the gravy train.
Fingers crossed.  |

Until such time as they make the manifesto a legal document I won't vote.
What's the point when the very things they say they will do get thrown away...
Make it legal - a contract.
Don't do it - you're out |

I have quite an idealistic view I guess, but i firmly believe that everyone should vote, even if it is just to register a protest and 'spoil' the vote.
Too many people who are either subjected to dictatorship or a flawed democracy would welcome the change to vote but are prevented.
A number of people lost their lives (admittedly a long long while ago) to ensure that all could vote, so we should exercise that ability. |

Once upon a time, Tory MPs were captains of industry or local business men and Labour MPs were trade Unionists. Both sides had experience in the real world albeit from different sides and different viewpoints
Nowadays potential MPs on both sides of the house do their degree in English and politics at Oxbridge, get a position as intern, become a policy researcher for a minister, haggle for a safe seat when it comes available and become a career politician. Cameron, Milliband and Clegg have all come along this career path along with Blair before them.
They have no idea how the real world operates |

"Does this mean they no longer get paid until parliment is reformed? "
No, they continue to be paid until deselected or lose their seat at the election.
I had hoped that this thread may have been about MPs and large vats of concentrated sodium hydroxide soltion. |

I agree with you but I will go along and spoil my ballot. That way I am using my right to vote rather than not turning up. Plus when they come to the door canvassing wind them up with questions about expenses who is paying for them to knock at your door or how will they enforce their manifesto.
I was going to vote for the highest bidder in euro elections outside the polling station but you can get arrested for this apparently, doesn't stop MP's though cash for questions etc |
