Yes I know similar threads must of been covered a 1000 times before.
Watching Question Time last night it struck me that MPs were consistently argueing their points, not just with expenses but with a range of topics.
Surely the point is to listen to public opinion and act upon this and not try to argue their corner?
Obvious post of the year I know but it winds me up, especially when a young lady from the audience had a valid question about the EU and the female MP (forgot her name) instead of listening to her and responding, explaining why things are as they are and make a note of her comments just leaped into the typical MP spin and stats.
It's such a shame that even when you can ask them to answer you, they simply rebuke anything you say. They clearly just do what they want and ignore the public concensus. I hope something changes with politics although I seriously doubt it will.
BTW slightly off topic but I wont be voting in the European Elections, I don't support any of my local MEP's at the best of times, even less now.
Thanks for listening to my rant, just needed to get it off my chest.
