Good idea provided the political class in the whole of the UK take an allegiance to

Not act on self interest
Not spend public money for their own advancement
Not cynically state that their aim is to eradicate poverty and then charge the cost of their mortgages to the taxpayers
Not say how green we should all be then jet of on some freebie to the Carribean in the interests of basically themselves
Not make moral statements about the people of this country then go off shag their secretary behind their wife's/husband's backs

And as for former Attorney Generals not support war that is clearly illegal in international law
And not stand in the way of the legal process on behalf of a bunch of self-interested Arab businessmen

Only then I might consider it a good idea
