Mandatory work activity for MPs

I propose MPs be required to undertake mandatory work experience in a low cost high street food chain on the shop floor for five days per year, in full public view.

Why is this important?

Our MPs get extensive holidays compared to regular members of the public in low paid jobs. I propose they be required to work in a low cost high street food chain on the shop floor for five days, in full public view.
Cabinet members who "refuse" to take part or need to be excluded for security reasons must wear a wonky boot, a glove on their dominant hand, and fuzzy goggles from dawn to dusk, secured by locks, and be on web camera at all times except toilet breaks. Use of public transport in full "kit" should be mandatory at least once per day, from random locations across the country.
This will ensure they more fully understand the lives of the people they were elected to represent, or the nature of health and disability.
