Stopping MPs voting on matters they have vested interests in would be an interesting one. Presumably that would mean that the whole of the Labour Party would be barred from voting on Trade Union legislation, or, at the very least, that RMT sponsored MPs would not be allowed to vote on matters concerning the railways, Unite sponsored MPs being stopped from voting on health matters etc.? It might leave Labour in a bit of difficulty in enacting a lot of its manifesto promises.

Don't single out one party - you could say the same for all of them. It's the SME's and ordinary folk taking the hit yet again. These senior board members have moved to tighten policy to protect their own payoffs and bonuses a short while back. Perhaps not illegal, but definitely immoral, and not how I run my businesses at all. When we had to make changes back in 08/09, everyone, myself included, took 5 weeks unpaid leave. I traded two extra weeks with one employee so that he only had to take three. My policy was that it was better that we all took a bit of a hit rather than a few take a massive hit i.e. job loss.
