MPs Lack A Deficit In The Brain Department

Our elected representatives would like to present us with the image that they are wise, well-informed, and cerebal - yet forget to mention, or acknowledge (except at election time), that their entire existence and lifestyle is funded by the taxpayer. What they obviousy also do not wish to acknowledge is that the one brain cell, with which they were born. has gone 'AWOL'.

Consider the 'Business of the House' for the last two days:

Tuesday 2nd November 2010:

Legislation Cheques Bill - First reading - Mr David Ward
Legislation Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill - Report stage (Day 2) Legislation Terrorist Asset-Freezing etc. Bill [HL] - First reading
2.30pm
Oral Questions Health, including Topical Questions Urgent Question Prisoners (Voting Rights) Urgent Question Defence Treaties (France) Ten Minute Rule Motion Cheques - Mr David Ward Legislation Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill - Third reading Adjournment Government policy on the information provided to women prior to a request for a termination  of pregnancy - Nadine Dorries Wednesday 3rd November 2010: Oral Questions Wales 12pmPrime Minister's Question Time Speaker's Statement Statement Higher Education Funding Ten Minute Rule Motion Consumer Credit (Regulation and Advice) - Stella Creasy Debate Report of the Bloody Sunday Inquiry Adjournment Effect on businesses of proposed changes to employment law - Julian Smith These poor saps cannot realise that, if they continue to 'shut their eyes' to the effects of our continued membership of the European Union their own status - and the building in which they sit - will be unnecessary as all* this will be  administratively 'overseen' by the Committee of the Regions, (and do please note that when clicking on the English version - you still get it in French!) by means  of MAAs? Of course, we have not seen any mention for the repeal of these bodies by the Coalition - what they have done is to 'introduce'   Local Enterprise Partnerships (which replace the Regional Development  Associations) and which will, no doubt, oversee the imposition of MAAs. As an aside, I always wondered why that dipstick Francis Maude had been included in Cameron's Cabinet - now I realise it was so that Cameron could not be accused of not having told us about his journey up the garden path!
* Wise up people - 'They' won't need the Scottish Parliament, the Welsh

	Assembly, or an English Parliament (over which so many are getting their
	proverbial 'knickers in a twist') - we are going to be 'Regionalised'.
	'NUTS' and "The framing of EU regional policies" - anyone?
