Should Mps be allowed to have more than 1 job?

[Menelaus]

True - whilst a large number of pols seem to have left college, gone straight into politics and thus never held a job it'd be good if they had a "real" job alongside their being an MP (in much the same way that councillors do).

[Cyberman]

At least Tories are clever enough to get a second job rather than totally sponging off of the state while driving it to ruin.

[Zippy]

A good start would be to have one job

[PM-Junkie]

I think this is such a stupid and dangerous move. It is moronic career politicians who haven't a friggin' clue how things work in the real world who screw things up.

[bogeyman]

Yes.

In fact, it should be a prerequisite.

There are too many of the idle sods there, who have never done an honest days work, ran a small business, or headed up a company.

[HairyArsedBloke]

Most of the current stock should not be allowed to have more than zero jobs including being a MP.

[MrMark]

I'm quite happy for MPs to have several jobs. End of the day, if they mess up in the day job we can vote them out. If the HofC is full of idiots, logically that's our fault.
