@C7RKY@mikakosinska@JohnMannMP I think the medicine is worse than the disease. Unpopular MPs should be safe from frivolous prosecution. -
@Martinned81@mikakosinska@JohnMannMP I'm no expert on this, but I'm keen to see far greater accountability of MPs than we have currently. -
@C7RKY@mikakosinska@JohnMannMP But accountable to whom? Given how powerful the Executive is in the UK, there is no one left. -
@Martinned81@mikakosinska@JohnMannMP Some sort of 'people's committee'? Raw thought, but answerable to those they represent, perhaps? -
@C7RKY@mikakosinska@JohnMannMP Quis custodiet ipsos custodies? -
@Martinned81@mikakosinska@JohnMannMP As ever... -
@C7RKY@Martinned81@JohnMannMP How about an Ombudsman? -
@mikakosinska@C7RKY@JohnMannMP An ombudsman who can actually impose penalties isn't an ombudsman. - 4 more replies
