And stop MPs allowing pop stars schmoozing up to them. The words Gary and Barlow spring to mind!

You only have to take a look at the BBC Parliamentary Channel.

Apart from PMQs, the Budget, Autumn Statement and a few other photo-call debates, the green benches are virtually empty. Then the division bell sounds and in they troop through the division lobby, to get their heads counted after listening to buggerall of the debate.

The whips' system is peverse in a democratic society

As is the method by which they pair up if one is going to be absent - its also a complete travesty of democracy, fiddling the expenses doesn't even come close.

Its the North... who cares??? *joke*

However, it isn't only the north where massive infrastructure and housing developments have been proposed and railroaded (forgive the pun) through parliament and local councils. HS2, Heathrow/Gatwick expansion, "Boris Island" (if it gets approval instead of expanding existing airports) and turning green belt into housing estates are all wonderful ideas for the south east at the moment

Dennis Skinner refuses to pair up!
