There should be more publicity to this selection in all print and electronic media. Those MPs who burn their midnight oil and study the cases and contribute should be known to the public as against those who make a mockery of our DEMOCRACY. Not only the top and bottom seats all should be evaluated and the scores published to keep up our hard-earned freedom and democracy.
