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.
