MP or not MP - that is the question

[HoreTore]

Conclusion 1: only lawyers must be allowed to run for the parliament.

Holy hell, never! I'd rather having a rule that restricts the amount of lawyers in parliament(preferably 0, or 1 at most).

An abundance of lawyers creates a political environment where the technicalities matter more than the bigger picture. And why would being a lawyer give a good insight into the needs of the armed forces? Or what tax levels are appropriate? Or how one should relate to other countries?

Further, it is not the MP's themselves who write the laws. That's the job of the various departments, and they have extensive legal teams. They check that the new laws are good, and then the MP's vote on their proposals.

Conclusion 2: parliaments must be at work, say, three months a year (April, October, December) and MPs get their salaries accordingly.

Unlike football, society is constantly changing, thus needs constantly changing laws. The fundamental flaw of the USSR was that it couldn't update their rules as fast as the world changed.
