"Members of Parliament, should not sit in judgement on Members of Parliament" > @JohnMannMP calls for an end to MP self-regulation in #HoC
@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. -
@Martinned81@C7RKY@JohnMannMP It doesnt need to impose penalties but only act as an independent body of scrutiny, surely? -
@mikakosinska@C7RKY@JohnMannMP That depends. I thought the objection to the current system was that no one ever gets punished enough. - 2 more replies
