This really highlights the extent to which Fridays in Parliament have been treated like a game MPs play among themselveshttps://twitter.com/BBCPolitics/status/1008333545486606336 …

Completely agree on the point about clarity btw. MP is one of the few professions needing no qualifications, and having no defined responsibilities or even working hours. MPs totally on their own honour - a trait lacking in many imo.

I suspect Honour lacking in far fewer than you might think. Most MPs dedicated individuals. But I found the system MPs operate in has odd way of making Parliament far less than the sum of its parts.
-
Forgive me if I've given the wrong impression, I know from personal experience my MP is very dedicated to her constituents. But some are a disgrace to the name, and seemingly ennobled despite of it.

the parliament of Jersey (the States Assembly) is due to debate in July whether to have a formal statement of Members' duties. We plan a post about it for our blog

I disagree, unless I'm very mistaken an MP could be elected then spend 5 years doing nothing. They wouldn't get elected next time but they've collected nearly half a million in salary in that time.
