MP's CAN'T STAND THE PACE

So according to the Hansard Society the 227 new intake MP's are working an average of 69 hours per week - and evidently they are finding it a struggle !!  Join the real world where 69 hours per week can be seen as an easy week.  And one wonders exactly what they classify as "work".  Is it work as most of us see things ?  Or is a lot of the work time taken up with chatting to other members, or maybe even to Constituents?  And how long do they spend completing and then checking over their expenses ( a new system which it seems they are dissatisfied with....wonder why) ?  And their salary ?  Well about £65,000 p.a. and they voted not to take a 1% pay rise this year !!! Tell that to the thousands of people in the real world who either haven't got a job, or have taken a pay cut.
