Time off.


Mr Smith reads that "(Westminster) MPs will have an additional four days of holiday in 2008 compared with this year, it has been announced. They will take 91 days - or 18 working weeks - off, Harriet Harman, the leader of the Commons, has confirmed."

Now Mr Smith realises that many MPs use the "time off" to spend more time on constituency duties which is all very well and good, but wouldn't it be nice to have 18 weeks out of the office every year? Perhaps the proletariat should get to vote on the plans. After all, we do pay their wages.
