Should MPs volunteer for reality TV?

Heard that 'the whip has been removed', even Ann Widdicombe (sp) thought that a bit silly as it now becomes a Cons. Party issue instead of a publicity seeking young woman!
Mind you she will get oodles of publicity... do you think she is planning to wear 't' shirts with messages emblazoned on them?

If she makes as big an idiot of herself as Galloway did on Big Brother, I will enjoy watching it. However, I feel far too many MPs have jobs outside Parliament, and some have multiple directorships, memerships of Quangos, etc. The noble lords should also have to stay for a couple of hours in order to get their attendance allowance - many just sign in and go home.

What about the golden opportunity to make her do the tasks, anno? I could see her being kept in so viewers can torture her! It's like knitting whist watching the guillotine drop for some people.

The only problem is that she's likely to be voted off pronto so will be back in the Commons in no time! Ghastly woman anyway!

Very undignified - not staqtesman/woman like. Pathetic really.

What was she thinking? It was bad enough when Sally Bercow took part, but at least she's not an MP!

What a silly woman! She is a bit of a self-seeker I feel!

They should only do it if they want to prove they are self-seeking idiots rather than leaving us just to think they are!

I see on the 6 o'clock news she has been suspended from parliamentary procedures.

oh - right - sorry! Thought she was some kind of celeb. Obviously trying to be some kind of celeb.

whoops!

It's alright so long as we are not paying them for their time.

Let them suffer if that's what they want.

There's already a thread about this entitled 'Nadine Dorries', Jess.

Couldn't be much dafter than some of the stuff they say or do! And they certainly are used to being prats....Not that I'm cynical!
