Parliament Recesses - Value for money?

Does anyone know why MPs need to get such long breaks?  They have just gone on Summer recess from July 17 through to September 3.  Then they will go on another recess, two weeks after they return, for another month.

There are many people in this country who can't afford to take vacations/holidays and certainly not 2 months at a time. 

Mind you, that's because they don't get such long breaks, paid for by someone else - the taxpayer!

Isn't it about time that MPs actually set an example?  How about a short Summer break?  I know that would put them on a par with the people they supposedly represent but would that be too radical?

What would they do with the extra time? 

Here's an idea.  Not pass any more laws except to repeal the masses of un-required legislation that is stifling our economy - all those laws that say to small businesses - 'thinking of hiring one or two new employees?  Forget it!  We have laws that will make you wish you had never even entertained the idea, Fool!'

Consider reviewing all of the 'directives' that have come from Brussels and repealing those with which our UK  Parliament doesn't agree and has never even voted on or, if they have voted it has only been in a 'rubber stamp' type of way - as in - you have to approve this because Brussels has decided!

Review and repeal the stupid and fatuous commitments to reduce our carbon emissions.  Understanding that there really isn't the need and even if there were, the UK imposing carbon emission levels, unilaterally, is worse than worthless.  That's without considering the huge burden this places on the British people, with ever higher energy costs.  One day, the British people will look back at the Eco-Con that has been perpetrated upon them and in their anger and shame, not forgive the political and media fools who have foisted this fatally flawed  ideology upon them.

Do you reckon that could occupy them for a few weeks?

I have other ideas.  I didn't even mention the overly complex UK Tax Code, yet!
