This short satirical work proposes that
backbenchers be removed, benches and all, from the Canadian House of
Commons, in the interests of modernity and efficiency for both the
backbenchers and the rest of the House of Commons.
This short work proposes that backbenchers be removed, benches and all,
from the Canadian House of Commons, in the interests of modernity and
efficiency. A special “Backbencher’s Heaven,” can be set up not far from
the Parliaments buildings. There, backbenchers could spend most of
their time in up-to-date offices dealing with the voters in their
ridings. At the same time, the rest of the Members of Parliament (the
ones that really matter) could have the space to install and use current
data collection and display systems (built into their desks), the
better to debate bills with the facts at their fingertips. A giant leap
in productivity is predicted. (Source: http://englishtips.org)
