I certainly wouldn't vote for someone who intended to take a taxpayer-funded salary of £74K, plus a notoriously generous expenses allowance
which even covers the rent on a second home, plus state-subsidised bars and restaurants, plus a free creche, and then spend her time beefing in Parliament rather than paying attention to the debate so she can represent my interests...
...but the real problem here is that a minority of exhibitionist beefing moos are now trying to set a precedent. This is an old debate which has resurfaced:
Quote
Betty Boothroyd, former Speaker of the Commons... said it would be allowed when workers at Tesco were allowed to do so.
That should have been the end of it, and moos should just accept that the Commons is a workplace like any other, a place where adults have work to do and need to concentrate while they do it, but nope, they want to ruin people's lives at work as well as in the places they go to relax when they're not working.
Judging by the comments here and on other articles it seems there are plenty of moos who are seeing this as encouragement to demand the right to bring their screaming spawn to work. I can't see this happening soon, if at all- for one thing it would be a health and safety nightmare- but I'm already sick of the moos voicing their claims to entitlement over this one.
