When we have spent hours enthralled by the antics within the house on the BBC parliamentary channel we hit the red button go down a list of MP's present, (don't worry it is usually a very small list), and press the yellow button to select the MP we consider the best of the day?
Or would the MP's that don't get many likes become obsessive about the one's that have the most points and try to use the system against them?
Too trivial? a rather silly suggestion that what a person is like can be gleaned from this method?
Well yes, I think so as well, but there are some here in the virtual world that actually do attempt to use a little bit of fun just for that sort of purpose, are these people to be condemned or pitied for their stupid behavior?
I personally would pity anyone that thinks there is any importance whatsoever in such a system.

Addendum to the above, instead of press the red button they put out one of those text voting thingamees, like for big brother.
Press MP#1 if you wish to vote for the Prime Minister.
Press MP#2 for the Home Secretary.
and so on down the list, this will make them performance related and remove the need for a pay rise.
The monies raised against the MP's number, say, £1 per text (paid by the sender), goes to them so the better they perform the more they make and only the idiots with more money than sense will be financing a better Parliament.
At the end of every week there could even be a vote for which MP should be evicted from the house, it works with BB it should make politics more interesting.
