Job as MP is for life... not just for Christmas

-

I GUESS now we will have to put up with political chit-chat for the next seven weeks, to many folks’ dismay.

It will no doubt be interestin­g to see the Coventry MPs in person trying to curry favour with the electorate.

Well, I feel if they have not bothered to make contact with the people, I am sure they will want to secure their pocket money.

What does the Coventry North West MP really do for our area?

It seems that functions that have been pre-arranged for him have not been attended, and is a let-down for those who are involved.

Is there a new illness going around Parliament called dynamic lethargy that some MPs seem to suffer from?

If MPs want to engage with constituen­ts I would hope they realise it is a job long-term, according to the electorate.

It is rather like the adverts when buying a dog: “A dog is for life, not just for Christmas.” This to could also be applied to MPs working contracts.

If the job becomes too much I would hope their conscience along with honesty would tell them to relinquish their seat. Sandra Camwell Keresley
