I'm a believer that MPs should hold no other employed positions: being an MP is a full time job. OK as regards other interests (shares etc.) which must be registered, but no seats on boards or as advisers etc. We really need to stamp out any suspicion of corruption and bring in full transparency. - Same goes for local councils.
Bet it'll never happen in my lifetime though!
