MPs to spend less time at Westminster

Harriet Harman, the Commons leader, broke the good news to MPs yesterday, also outlining even more time away from
Matthew Elliott, chief executive of the Taxpayers' Alliance, said: "If MPs spent longer in the House there'd be less badly drafted legislation."
This is a good thing. If MPs spend less time in the House of Commons it will mean that they are drafting less legislation and staying out of our lives more. That has to be a good thing. It’s not like they will actually be on holiday because they will be in their constituencies addressing the issues that concern their constituents. How is that a bad thing?

Every extra day that they are not legislating 'for' us, the better, they are scum, the lot of them, and we would be better off if there was no House of Commons at all.
Agreed. They are giving more power to EU so they will have less say in what happens in this country anyway.
I'm inclined to agree. Do you know, more Acts of Parliament were passed by the Blair government than were passed during the whole nineteenth century?
I didn't know that. I knew they did a lot but I didn't know it was on that scale.
