B3TA fixes the worldMoon Monkey says: Turn into Jeremy Clarkson for a moment, and tell us about the things that are so obviously wrong with the world, and how they should be fixed. Extra points for ludicrous over-simplification, blatant mis-representation, and humourous knob-gags.

They tried this...When Thatcher abolished the GLC, there was a great huge building just on the other side of Westminster Bridge.
It was big enough to be turned into into a luxury hotel type affair with about six hundred rooms for MPs who needed them, and just a hop and skip to work in the morning.
It was debated in Parliament, and soundly and vigourously rejected as being 'too expensive'.

that's the problemAny campus-style accommodation for serving MPs would necessarily require a large capital investment, and the public would whinge like hell about how they were paying for these people to have luxuries like microwave ovens and flushing toilets ...
So, to save all of us from all of that, we have the current system.
