Tokenism

Rupert Read, the Norwich North Green candidate is pushing a bandwagon.

He evidently thinks we are better served if MP's do not have outside business interests or second jobs. That's just what we need. More careerist politicians even more insulated from the real world with nothing at risk from the policies they make. And Quelle surpise!! Chloe Smith has signed the pledge. Of course she doesn't want a second job. Her whole life has been geared to becoming an MP. In this instance MP stands for Monumental Prat.

Speaking of which, the UKIP candidate is a tad optimistic.

Who is buying this garbage? How gullible do they think we are?
