John Bercow: MPs don't need to wear ties - BBC News
I only wear ties these days to go to interviews. If I then get to the company and I see all men wearing ties I'm turned off working for that company. Ties are so outdated and not necessary. My intelligence does not reduce just because I take my tie off (Ok - opened myself up to abuse there but this is General so I'll take the hit
)
What are the general views on this?

Those that are least likely to wear a tie are often those most likely to need to.

If I'm wearing a suit, I'll wear a tie. To me, it looks like something is missing otherwise.
That said, I only wear suits for interviews, weddings etc...
But there's a part of me, 'cos I'm old fashioned, which thinks that male MPs etc should show some respect for the office they hold by wearing a tie.
Otherwise, before long, they'll all be turning up for work looking like Peston.Last edited by Big Blue Plymouth; 30 June 2017, 07:40.
