We all know they should be accountable to us. We all know that they're not.
"What’s all the fuss about?
"There’s no law in this country that makes it an offence for MPs to deceive the electorate. Worse than that – there’s no way of removing a sitting MP. Once they’ve been elected they can pretty much do what they like until the next general election. We’ve a general election coming up and this Bill is the perfect way to discover which MPs and which parties genuinely want to end dishonest politics."The Ministry of Truth is campaigning to introduce legislation that makes it illegal for politicians to deliberately deceive the public."

See this is where the big, big lie of Democracy needs to be exposed. The fact that a sitting MP cannot be removed is outrageous. There was a wonderful quote in our local newspaper on Saturday about the new release of MP's expenses with the juicy bits blacked out. It said, "Nice to see our MP's expenses claims are as transparent as his policies."
Our MP is not very well liked by those who do have more than a passing interest in politics, the problem is we are a constituency where the proverbial donkey with a blue rosette would get elected.
I have no doubt the transparency claim/joke was heard throughout the land in each constituency!
Yes, not many jobs are ringfenced in such a way.
"Yes, I know you're useless, you've lost every contact you had worked on, we think you've robbed the petty cash and you fail to do half the work of the others ...so we're jolly well going to have a meeting in 4 years to discuss sacking you."
