  1. Last paragraph was scary of whom parliament will be without. All those MPs I thought they died, thank God they just resigned, stwupidi Poo.Fs.

  2. They sleep when parliament is in session; and they sleep when it is in recess. When they are awake they are walking out or fighting and tearing documents (someone introduce iPads there)… at best of times Parliament Motel is a hive of licentious activity.
