"As has been tediously pointed out here many times, we elect MPs to make difficult and complex decisions, paying them to do their homework and attend to armies of researchers. It doesn't matter that the electorate don't always agree. The electorate may well not be qualified to decide"

No shaw as usual you are being your conceited self and voicing opinion as fact.

Mp's define their role thus:

The Role of an MP
MPs have responsibilities to three main groups: their constituents,   Parliament and their political party. One MP is elected to the House of Commons by each of the UK’s 600+ constituencies. MPs’ duties in
Parliament include participating in debates and voting on legislation and other matters. They may also be members of committees examining new laws or the work of government departments. Some have a role as a minister in government or a spokesperson in opposition. MPs can   help   their constituents   by advising on problems (particularly those that arise from the work of    government    departments),    representing the concerns of their constituents in Parliament and acting as a figurehead for the local area. MPs usually support their party by voting with its leadership in the House of Commons and acting as a representative for the party in their constituency.

There. That has corrected it for you, by quoting from the hoss's mouth.


I see you have added psychycobabble to the list of you innumerable unsavoury traits. Such as demeaning, belittling, taunting and provoking in your arrogant, pompous, boasting manner of posting to all that hold contrary views to yours.

Time you cleaned up your act old boy, it is getting somewhat tiresome.

and finally the electorate are qualified by satisfying the requirements for enfranchisement.Nowt to do with IQ or understanding.

Do   you not like the idea that a bunch of what you label as thickos can vote against your choice and thereby negate your vote? A somewhat hypocritical character deficiency do you not think, considering the PC persona you try to project elsewhere on this forum?
