The idea
Bring in legislation that requires all current and prospective MP’s to undergo intelligence, common sense and a lie detector test to ascertain the suitability for the position.
Why is it important?
This would help weed out false promiser’s at election time and also the utterly childish behaviour and ‘noddy dogs’ in the house of commons.
While your about it, why not test MP’s abilities to properly answer cross-party questions in the house instead of evading everything.
Unfortunately this might result in the demise of the Liberal Democrats… I doubt any common sense can be found in that party seeing as they chose to join a coalition with the tories!.
What has this to do with Civil Liberties… well the British public deserve politician that have a modicum of common sense and a lot more honesty.
