[BNM] [OT] Who's MP is the most expensive?

[Wayne Douglas]

If my perception of what they do is marred it's because of a lack of
transparency and cloak and daggers inherent in their day to day
activities.

When I was working in London and had to work late I had to make my own
arrangements.

I don't need these egotistical, self satisfied, detached from the real
world, martyrs talking on my behalf in this day and age.

I don't profess to know the political system in any way however - my
view is this:

They were put there because, back in the day, collecting and analyzing
the peoples opinion over mundane day to day things from the whole
population would be impossible - they speak on our behalf to make the
process work. We can now collate and analyze the voice of the general
public with e-democracy - they are basically redundant in my view. If
the gov gets what it wants where everyone has access to the Internet -
this - to me - makes real sense.

Feel free to correct my view and maybe help me understand where these
people will fit into the future of democracy.
