FOR me, there two important ways in which our MPs can usefully employ their time between now and the next election.

Three actually, and this one would make all others easier: forget about party politics.

The other two, easiest first: Generate support for and introduce in law a minimum three-year parts and labour warranty on new electrical goods, similar to that on cars.

Pass some of the power enjoyed by your parties to the electorate by going for proportional representation.

That will do for a start!
