Being an elected member of Parliament is a full time (and more) role, to do it effectivly a member must give it his all, the role of a member of parliament cannot and should not be seen to be a part time job.
This goes for both members of the House of Commons, and Members of the Scottish Parliament.
Lets bring an end to this so that people throughout the country can get the services of a full time member of parliament.
