Politicians and how to improve their performance
I have oftem wondered whu politicians, especially MP's, are so incompetent. Perhaps it is drugs. If you think for a while, they spend their time in house of commons drinking, and passing laws. Should anyone under the influence of alchohol, or any other drug for that matter, be allowed to vote on changes to laws. You can't drive or do most responsible jobs whilst under the influence so why should MP's be allowed to vote. My first proposal is that no MP is allowed to vote if they fail a breathalyser test at the same level as required for driving a car.
Similar arguments apply to tiredness, there is no doubt that ones judgement if often wrong when tired, as a mathematician many neat arguments fall apart after a good nights sleep. So as truck and coach drivers are not permitted to work more than 8 hours without a proper break the same should apply to politicians, and probably doctors, nurses and other workers whose decisions cannot be changed after a good nights rest.
We then come to the issue of pay, MP's despite their views are still overpaid. Remeber it is a job with involves no training, no skills and no assessment. However on of the problems is that most MP's are amateurs and if they do not get some sort of government job try to pick up further work. To sort this out I propose taht all income received by MP's should paid to the state, whether as ministers or from outside earnings. It is emant to be a full time job, the only group which is allowed to earn money outside are academics and very few paople care what they do, they certainly have no influence on anything.
So there are three proposals to improve the performance of MP's
(i) no voting whilst under the influence of drugs,
(ii) enforced rest so no voting when judgement is likely to be affected by tiredness and
(iii) earnings to be deducted from salary as MP.
