No Getting Rid of Legislators-for-Life

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Following allegations that three legislators-for-life and one elected legislator had agreed to sell their services in the legislature to lobbyists, Cabinet Office minister Francis Maud has told the press that there will be legislation to allow electors to recall MPs in some cases of serious misbehaviour.
Electors are already able to remove MPs at election time. There is no way that the people can remove the legislators-for-life and Maud did not seem to have any intention of changing that affront to democracy.
