Most members of parliament do not give heed to their job in parliament. They indulge in other activities that may give them more money or increase their votes. Many times, even quorum is not available and parliament has to be adjourned. Parties have to issue whip to ensure presence of members on crucial occasions. Even if a ember is present according to record, he may not be present all day. Moreover, may be mentally absent. We have seen snaps of some important M.P. sleeping during important debates.
Half teh time is spent sleeping while serious discussions are on, the moment a shouting match starts, they all wake up ready to enter the ruckus and create a riot by throwing chairs around and shouting at the top of their voices. This accomplished; they consider it a day well spent!! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
Most of the M.P.s belong to political parties. They have to participate in parliament according to party policy. The major political parties viz. Congress and BJP select some members to speak. Others can do nothing. The political parties should encourage and allow all members to participate in debate. They should not just allow selected few all the time to participate. The left parties earmark almost every party MP to contribute unlike Congress and BJP.
