An MP over in England was booted out of parliament recently, and his crime? Telling porkies about his opponent during the election campaign!
And now Fine Gael TD Billy Timmins wants similar legislation introduced in Ireland that would see politicians who break electoral law expelled.
He said inacurate and misleading information is often circulated about candidates at election time in Ireland and such legislation may assist in putting an end to the practice here.
God forbid if that were to happen - we might find ourselves in a situation where we will have absolutely no politicians!
