Quotes The job of an MP is bigger and more varied than most people realise. They take part in debates, help process legislation, make appointments, and scrutinise government performance and budgets. MPs also spend a lot of time outside Parliament consulting with the public, overseeing projects, conducting investigations, doing party work, and serving people in their constituencies. Walking into Parliament as a young woman hasn’t been a walk in the park.
