The third effect of the waka-jumping provisions, and Mr Brown I hope you're listening, is that there's no protection in law or the Standing Orders to limit the participation of an MP in the House for past criminal convictions, lying, deception, or gross misconduct in employment, and I think that's something we can all agree should be provided for. An MP who, once elected, is found to have been in prison for something like serious fraud is not required to disclose that in this House. They're not subject to the rules that protect staff or taxpayers' money. They're not required to recuse themselves from decision-making in this House or in select committee which is directly relevant to their offending and their victims. They're not required or even encouraged to resign. The very most basic standards that voters expect of us as parliamentarians, as the guardians of our democracy, are not set out in rules or in law by which we govern ourselves here. Voters are entirely reliant on the media during selection and election periods, who can be defrauded like any other human being, or on party discipline to identify those people who are unfit to hold office.
