The Application of business standards to the House of Commons?

Perhaps Mr Campbell should join Posh after his weekend display?

We just love it when our favorite political muse Guido Fawkes  www.order-order.com comes up with a real corker, just imagine if we could apply this to Peterborough City Council!  

Guido has been amusing himself with a new toy this afternoon. The Commons Performance Cockpit ( http://www.keybusinessinsight.com/CPC ) is designed to introduce some business standards to the Commons. Using expenses data and MPs attendence and performance information, you can rank Members on value for money.

One fact caught Guido's attention:

> "MP Dennis Skinner wins Commons voting record: He voted in 98.4% of all debates in 2010. Compare this with the member for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath who managed to vote in only 33 (13%) of the debates. Relate this to their total costs per debate they voted in and we find Mr Skinner cost £321 whilst Mr Brown cost £3,164 each time they voted."

Now there is a surprise.
