Parliament and Kindle

What boring lot they are in this parliament.  You would be forgiven for expecting the members to be in a state of turmoil after the coalition was formed and nobody voted for that.  Where is the awkward squad?  Where is the militant tendency?  Where is your Enoch Powell?  Where is your Beast of Bolsover?  Why is there not uproar when anything cooked up between Dave and Nick skates through the House?

My guess is that they were all living on expenses in the past and are now crushed to silence when they realise that they have to live on half the salary of a G.P. It was always a silly idea to keep their wages down.  A shop steward once told me that I did not pay myself enough. "If you paid yourself  more you could afford to get better managers and that would increase our job security."  What to do about M.P.s?  Double their salaries and halve their number. We might get a better sort of  representative.
