Do we need greater transparency regarding what our MPs get up to?

Let's use a fictitious case, G is an obnoxious wind bag with a very severe personality disorder (or is a planned sadist, criminality being a part of her life) she is quickly noted for her 卐 leanings and is lauded for her slaughtergirl work (which she does on a Sunday, it's a shame her neighbours don't have better police, judiciary and animal welfare ties, to quote her at her last public visit to the charity as covered by her local paper, "You mollest children, I put in the hours, I'm doing YOU a favour!") Seen as competent and praised for her complete and utter nonsense approach she is made Minister of Health and Welfare reform, citing babies as, "Useless." she starts her Glasgow initinative, taking a simple child's toy (a trolly of lettered bricks) she starts her own feral scheme to introduce competition for resources she spends on holidays, parties, clothes and cars for her horses. This kind of love of all things equestian quickly gets her prompted to Lord Chief Justice (Privy council brief) yet she sets herself the ambitious target of horse interferer with, amongst other things, a fence post. So far soo mundane, the tabloids love her, her neighbours hate her, she's penciled in for editorship of The Daily Telegraph, her network now includes the arms industry and arms manufacturers yet, defeated at the next election, she lobbies hard to ensure gun laws are reformed, "To make it easy for people within these postcodes..." (minutes to these meetings are transparently available to any newspaper (although a none aggression pact is in place) "and the public pick up the tab three times, at the least." Transparency is all the media call for, is it really adequate?

Update:

Crow, 1 in 3 UK citizens abstained finding the arrangement unsatisfactory (45m eligible to vote,15m didn't, they didn't endorse fptp, they wanted to vote against the 'culture' of law regarding public sector management, a sane nation) The British public know they are the magistrates at election time, I've heard your arguement before yet I know, evidence based, it to be fraud.

    Yes we do and although your example is mainly fictitious there is a large element of truth in the fact that many Ministers are completely unfitted for their jobs and are merely there as a reward for services to their political party. A good example of this is the current situation over the rise in gas/electricity prices which is pending. The last government took no steps to ensure the building of gas storage tanks or indeed any other prudent measures unlike Germany and France who have huge capacities.

    Before anyone mentions wind farms (appropriate for politicians) just remember that in Scotland they average around 30% efficiency but in England may be less than 20%. Would you run anything in your own home with these efficiency capacities ?
