simple online system
so the overpaid twats don't sit around all day, wasting time, waiting their turn to maybe ask a question/vote on something.
It's insane in this day and age

like facebook or twitter for MPs?
I don't see why they should all have to physically go to London all the time, to be honest, it does seem a bit wasteful, especially if they all have to have second homes there as well. Maybe a couple of times a year or something for special occasions.

I was thinking something a little more serious and secure
where they could put forward their constituents requests/vote in important debates etc without the Bullingdon club shouting.
Make them sit in their office in their "home town" and get some work done for a change instead of this ridiculous pomp and ceremony.

security goes without saying
it would be nice if they could spend more time with their constituents, they have about 100,000 of them on average and then spend half the time swanning around in London.

Well some of them will also be part of various committees.
and whilst a lot of it is either toadying or bluster the commons is supposed to be for debating the topics and you can't really do that with any eloquence online.
Same for M.Ps surgeries that they have to hold.
They could just take emails or letters but it's good that they have to come face to face with the public.

personally I think an MP has too many constituents for it to be workable,
it was ok maybe in the middle ages when there were far fewer people, but now I feel like I need a sub-MP to represent me to my MP.

if anything it was harder to see your mp in medieval times than it is now.
What with the crusades and the feudal system and everything.

and don't forget rotten boroughs,
I'm just thinking theoretically in terms of the numbers though.
