In some respects, I‘m less concerned about those whoring themselves in the public eye. After all, there is so much media that somebody/something has to fill it, and I doubt they’re being paid more than tuppence for their tuppence worths; if they are you’d want change. What I‘m less comfortable with are those MPs that have had either junior minister roles or serve on select committees but rarely make the public eye. These are the ones who are then landing jobs but where it is terribly difficult to determine whose payroll they are on and since when. The press really ought to be tracking these people, as it is in the public interest to know what is happening, but even with some in the press the distinction reporter and government servant is increasingly blurred.
