Similarly, you might want your MP in parliament all the time. Good for you. However, since (on the whole) individual MPs are totally ineffectual in influencing the course of parliamentary debates I'm not sure how valuable that would be. Dennis Skinner pretty much lives in parliament but I'm not sure if Bolsover is being transformed into a new Jerusalem any time soon.

As for Galloway : He was elected on an anti-war program. He then proceeds to spend most of his time conducting an anti-war campaign. He's done more to advance the anti-war message than any other politician in the UK. I fail to see how this makes him a bad MP unless you think the (largely meaningless) time spent in parliament is the be all and end all of everything.
I want my MP to scritinise parliamentary bills.

I want that because life and government are not about flashy media presentations and gormless idiots prattling on (seriously you people ... "good orator" ... by **** is he a good orator. MAYBE if the only orator you've ever seen was a sock puppet ... but otherwise .... NO).

Change is about details and scrutiny. all of that really dull stuff that you don't bother to pay attention to.

Parliament has ONE mechanism to affect change.

I'd like members of parliament to pay attention to that.
