Money for questions eh. Two MP's over here lost there jobs for that.

"Money for questions"? What in the world does that mean?

Two of our MP's were offered £5,000/$8,000 cash in brown paper
envolopes plus gifts to ask questions in Parliament for Mohamed Al
Fayed the owner of Harrods, that is an absolute no no over here.
Hamilton and this other MP who did the same were booted out of their
seat and out of the Conservative party, and the incident nearly
brought down John-major disaster-Major's government. Bad form for the
MP's to do that, very bad form.


You asked me to lobby Congress for you. It is customary to pay
lobbyists when they do so.

Not in my country you don't. Totally against the rules, and is
severly frowned upon.
