After looking at things in more detail. It appears that many laws are sneaked through late on a Friday afternoon when the majority of MP's have disappeared off home for the weekend and there are very few participating in debate and voting. In this respect, the guy is absolutely right to bring attention to the issue. MP's are there to represent us, and should be in attendance when laws are being debated and voted on. That to me is the greater issue, and it is shameful that they don't do the job they were entrusted to do on behalf of the people they represent.

Tbf if you're an MP in places like Scotland, North Wales or Cornwall then you're looking at several hours journey to London. A lot of MPs need to be back in their constituencies for surgeries etc on Saturdays so would need to have left by Friday afternoon. Plus voting in the Commons is only a small part of being an MP really
