Should MPs volunteer for reality TV?

Or should they wait until their retire?
Conservative MP for mid beds has volunteered for "I'm a celebrity". Some people think this is inappropriate for a member of parliament.
What do we think about this?

Wasn't she about to lose her seat in boundary changes anyway?

Hasn't Cleggy blocked the Tory proposal for boundary changes?

Crazy as it may seem I think she's made a wise career move. As one door closes so another......?????

Nanadog Yes, look at the ghastly Hamiltons.

I live in the Mid Beds constituency for which she is an MP. Guess who wont be getting my vote next time - that is if she is still around then!

At least she's used to being with bugs, cockroaches, snakes etc.....!wink

I wouldn't be delighted if my MP appeared on this awful programme which is usually filled with hasbeens and wannabes. She is paid [out of our taxes] to represent us in Parliament not eat live insects - how can anyone take her seriously? Silly cow

Go on dorset tell us what you really think. grin

I'd love my MP to be sent to a jungle of 30 days. He's such stuck-up, out-of-touch-with-reality, ex-public-school, Tory git that I'd live to see him have to rough it with z list celebs grin

Don't watch reality programes, nothing real about them including the stars.

I see that Margaret Kaines book Song for a Butterfly is on free download from Amazon
today and tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday of this week.

I am just about to download it now.

Sorry, I don't see the connection, Kennedy. hmm
