If I behaved like an average British MP, I'd be fired

Now, nobody's saying that a terminally ill lord shouldn't be excused from voting duty.

They're practically all over 100, and fairly crusty.

However, if you regularly missed 1 day a week (20%), you could expect your
employer to be upset. Well, the list of MPs who surpass 20% is stunning

the funniest part is those for whom there is no data.
Excuse? "Sorry, broke a fingernail"
