MPs should only have inside interests and no outside interests
The Independent reports "David Cameron may be forced to shelve plans to curb the outside earnings of his Shadow Cabinet after a revolt by frontbenchers who do not want to give up their lucrative jobs outside politics".
In my view, no MP can serve two masters. No MP should have any outside interests whatsoever which clashes with their roles as a MP. Those MPs who desire to have outside interests should resign to allow themselves to pursue those outside interests, and leave the full-time job of being an MP to those committed to serving the electorate rather than serving themselves.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
