That’s how the drunk guy introduced himself when the session convened
Magic Points.
When I see MP I think military police
Please. Don't drink and legislate. The law you save may be your own!
Unforgivable! Many great political speeches have been given while the orator has been hammered. Booze is the lifeblood of politics.
I lived seven years in Poland, somehow this sparks nostalgia ^^ I remember some news where passengers in a bus (crosscountry, not city) called the police because the driver seemed drunk... In the test he had like 4 promille.
But breathalyser tests are for the plebians!!
Nah. If an mp wants to show up to parliament drunk, sober, or not at all, it's up to them to do so and for their constituents to punish them for it. Although breathalyser tests with no consequences except from the results being public wouldn't be so bad
Maybe they should make the results public so the press can report on it when someone shows up drunk
Exactly. But it's up to the constituents.
