| Message | Have to oppose this one on representation grounds. A better way to cut political overhead is to cull the civil servants. And as for the MP's, cut their salaries so that they need to be skilled enough to hold outside jobs. Could even reduce the salaries to zero over time! |

| Message | MPs take only a workers wage and represent a fixed ratio to constituents the cost is minimal and the democratic benefit is large. |
