  In defence of Gordon Brown, he was elected to serve the people in his constituency and represent their interests in HoP. Therefore, hobnobbing in London is only one part of his duty. Provided his constituents believe he is he is doing his bit for them outside Westminster who are we to complain or throw stones?
  
  I suspect Sinn Fein MP's do not sit in Westminster because, even now, their lives would be at risk. Small steps are required to keep the NI show on the road. Similarly, provided their constituents believe they are being represented adequately, that is all that matters surely?
  
  UKIP MEP's are entitled to their income as they also are required to serve their consituents at home as well as in Strasbourg/Brussels or wherever, ergo the same arguments as above apply.
  
  This attendance thing is nitpicking to be sure. It's what the politicos acheive that matters, and all party's representatives could do much better for this nation of ours.
