Is there not a way to convince MPs of all

1. I wouldn't agree that it is their prime duty. IMHO the
prime duty of gvernment is to facilitate. It should provide
for the population that which they are totally unable to
provide for themselves either individually or through group
enterprise. I would probably include in this such things as
national defence, foreign policy, major public works of
infrastucture (sewers etc.) and care for those who simply
are unable to care for themselves. Specifically it should
pass as few laws as possible and shouldn't interfere in
individuals lives. Protection of minorites should be the
function of a constitution and a defence AGAINST government
administered by the courts.
2. Also those in public office should have nooses around
their necks. It serves to keep them upright. Not original
but I don't know the source.
