    Banning Question Time would be more conducive to the public good.

    Watching Question time is like watching a people you have never met and would hate to spend time with. <br>But it’s every week.

    We are told that we need immigrants to do jobs and then we are told that that the reason there is so much unemployed is because there are no jobs. So which one is it???

    Billions spent on asylum each year. &nbsp;People not even residents of this country.

    Cut MP’s expenses, close bars and restaurants in Houses of parliament. Let them take lunch boxes with them to work, like normal people do. Hypocrites.

    Should we ban MP&apos;s salaries being spent on cocaine, and should taxpayers&apos; money be used to subsidise THEIR alcohol in the House of Commons bar?

    If all that money is getting spent on booze. Then the money is going straight back to the government isnt it?

    Kudos to Andrew Neil for summing the whole issue up so perfectly (and with such humanity) while the career politicians foundered with proposals that either avoided dealing with the problem entirely or would make the whole system even more complicated.
