MP's aren't chosen by the people,
but by their local party.

00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,029
But they are the people's
representatives,

113
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,599
democratically chosen.

114
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,389
MP's aren't chosen by the people,
but by their local party.

115
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,394
35 men in grubby raincoats
or35 women in silly hats.

116
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,958
But the government are selected
from the best of them.

117
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,709
Bernard, there are only 630 MP's.

118
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,635
If one party has just over300
it forms a government.

119
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,037
Of that 300, one hundred
are too old and too silly,

120
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,156
one hundred too young
and too callow

121
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,880
which leaves just about
a hundred MP's to fill

122
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,837
one hundred gobernmental posts.

123
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,672
There's no choice al all.

124
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:06,400
They've had no selection,
no training.

125
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,028
We have to do the job forthem.
