What are MPs for, exactly?
I used to think that if the members of the House of Commons voted for a Bill it meant they were happy with it. Now, apparently, it just means that they reckon the House of Lords will clean up after them. At least that's what the Government's cunning "pass this detention-without-trial bill and then we'll fix it in the Lords" plan seems to be about. Just as well Tony Blair didn't get round to abolishing them altogether!
So what are we paying our MPs for, again?

Erm...
In most countries people pay their MPs so that they can have a nice life, travel a bit, get some publicity, raise their profile (so they can run for Prime Minister someday).
They also pay some of them big money to screw up the country and other countries big time.
;)Not that we are cynical or anything...
