Parliament is so ridiculously archaic. All that braying and phoney pointless tradition. Like a 6th form debating club at an all boys public school. I suspect Jacob Rees-Mogg is smart enough to realise that and further that if MPs don't go back soon - the plebs might cotton on
I went to a boarding school and I know parliament well. Westminster is horribly reminiscent of a public school. Not fit for purpose in the 21st century.
And yes the PMQs thing shows this all up so very starkly. It actually serves a purpose once all that braying bollocks is gone. I want actual politicians in charge not posh horses.
Mogg is sentimental, rich and enabled by a nation that still doffs its cap to people who speak in plummy voices. He's a joke and a stark reminder of the many ills still plaguing this country. The only purpose he serves is this - we should so the opposite of everything he thinks.
.... and another thing - why the fuck do we need 650 MPs? What are they all doing? In the entire EU parliament - representing 450 million people there are 705 MEPs. More accountability, better people who are actually representative of the population and fewer Peter Bones please.
