The worst MP in Parliament?

[T_i_B]

Phillip Davies plumbs new depths, this time in an attempt to stop a domestic violence bill. Fortunately the bill passed with only Phillip Davies and David Nuttall voting against it.

1. "Mr Davies ... was last week elected to the Women and Equalities Committee"

Of course. Because arseholes like that get jobs to ruin the things they hate, these days.

6. Like electing Ronald McDonald to the animal welfare committee.

2. When I saw the thread title, I thought 'Philip Davies'!

And are all nuts called Nuttall?

3. It's a tough field, but I'd say Davies walks it by a country mile.

4. Other contenders?

Lucy Allen, Tory MP for Telford has to be considered. Even when you take her politics out of the equation you've still got laziness, bullying and rank dishonesty to take into account.

There's a number of far right contenders on the Tory benches such as Jacob Rees-Mogg, Dominic Raab, Heather Wheeler and Bernard Jenkin.

From the opposition benches there's Simon Danuszk, who has got himself turfed out of the Labour party thanks to personal misconduct.

5. Perhaps the one who's done the most damage is Iain Duncan Smith

Other awful MPs include Bill Cash, Peter Bone, John Redwood, Priti Patel, practically all MPs from Northern Ireland, and those UKIP-ers in Labour clothing, Kate Hoey and Gisela Stuart. Oh and let's not forget Nadine Dorries!

7. Ah yes...Simon Danczuk...the prince of a man who demonizes immigrants,

regularly bashes the poor(and once slagged his own mother in an interview for her struggles with substance abuse and poverty), and who was often described by people on the Labour right as a model for what the party should stand for.
