""While Sinn Fein and SDLP politicians travelled to the Dail today to participate in the Irish Parliamentary Joint Committee the DUP’s East Londonderry MP Gregory Campbell outlined the DUP's response. Commenting Mr Campbell said,
“Since any Westminster MP who might go along to this Committee would be prevented from voting or moving motions or amendments, attendance and participation at Westminster is much more appropriate and meaningful.""
Key words there are "attendance" and "participation".
All this grandstanding on behalf of the UK parliament is really getting boring, everytime one of the Dupes points out the sovereignty of the Westminster parliament, I'm going to post up their attendance record.
So here's Gregory's less than sterling performance ((via They (don't)Work for you))
Has spoken in 19 debates in the last year — below average amongst MPs.
Has received answers to 131 written questions in the last year — well above average amongst MPs.
Is a member of 1 select committee.
Replied within 2 or 3 weeks to a low number of messages sent via WriteToThem.com during 2006, according to constituents.
Has voted in 43% of votes in parliament — well below average amongst MPs. (From Public Whip)
