Re: Shame about MPs
I've been advocating random selection for MPs for decades:
a) It's more representative of the general population
b) It reduces the probability that the country's law makers will be a bunch of shysters
c) It may/should lead to the demise of party politics
There would need to be a list of those who were ineligible for selection:
a) Anyone who is or has ever been elected as an MP, MEP, SMP, local government councillor, etc.
b) Anyone who has ever been convicted of a violent crime (defn. required)
c) Add your favourite group of nutters here (e.g. BBC/Guardian journalists, Scientology advocates, etc)
