    Don't see the point in having backbenchers really. They have zero power to do anything for their constituents. They are ordered what way to vote on anything significant by the party whip. They are really yes men (and women) making up the numbers to keep the dictator at the top.

    The dictator being McDowell not Bertie!!!
