My First World Parliament

Since this has been in the news lately, I'd like to add my voice to the matter.

To me, a so-called First World Parliament should ideally have the following characteristics, irrespective of who its members are:

1. MPs spending most of their time doing grassroots work, e.g. Meet-the-People Sessions.

2. Be in recess as frequently as possible - the less the MPs meet, the fewer the laws they pass, and the more freedom and liberty citizens will enjoy.

3. MPs should only be limited to serving only 2 terms - so that vested interests will never gain a permanent constituency inside Parliament, and people not facing re-election risks can freely speak their minds.
