PM and MP

PM and MP Is there a balance?

If I were able to ask a question at Prime Minister's question time it would be simply, "Please answer me"

However may I suggest David asks "Is it easy or even possible to balance numerous global commitments as PM with a duty to your constituents as their MP?

This question could arise for David himself in the future! Just a thought.

MP, Prime Minister, Balance

Watch how quickly he will age! I think it's almost impossible to do both jobs properly.

I'm sure its a difficult task, lots of people have two jobs and its not easy. It is essential that the PM maintains his role in the constituency, though obviously with support. I'm sure the draw of high office pulls you away from it however I think its clear that if Tony had kept a closer link with his constituents he would of avoided many of the mistakes he has made in recent years.
My main concern beyond this for both men mentioned, would be how do you maintain a strong family life when in this situation, which is equally important not just for the families sake but again for the purpose of keeping their feet on the ground.
