Again out of pocket expenses for doing the job MPs get paid for. Double salaries for the same job. Not bad.


There should be emergency meetings of the parliament stipulated for such cases.

So you think that if we had World Sports Parliament responsible for the rules in all sports it would change the rules in different sports constantly? I'm sure that each sport has a set of stable rules which get changed once in a blue moon. Like the football rule of two substitutions was valid for several decades when about thirty years ago the three substitution rule was superimposed.

In Ukraine the former is often the case - MPs adopt laws which turn out to be inadequate so they have to repeal them or correct them .

Your whole counterargument is just re-hashing "it's a waste of money" I know in the Ukraine corruption among politicians is probably very high, but for the most part the government is not spending any significant fraction of its GDP on the MP's. If there is one place where you want to spend money to get the job done right, it's hiring people who know the field that is being legislated on.
