DO WE RECALL?
We hire them at elections.
So we should be able to fire them too.
There is a way to do this to sitting MPs in the constituencies of our
towns, counties and cities.
It is called THE RECALL!
Here is how it works:
The recall process resembles the "citizens' initiative" used in direct
democracy. A person or group makes a public proposal (here to dismiss a
politician or elected public official) then an agreed proportion of
constituents must endorse the proposal, in order that a "vote of no
confidence" (leading to "recall", dismissal) be held.
If the sitting MP loses the RECALL ballot then a by-election will be
held in due course.

If you favour this idea pass it on to five of your friends.

Of course, thanks for the suggestion Mel Rowing, the Campaign for
democracy reform needs support. More than money we need active
campaigners across the UK countries.

I was just drawing attention to the fact that fools and money are
easily separated.
