Being a backbench MP is a bit of an anti-climax for a superhero.
Inevitably, the role of being a backbench Member of Parliament is completely different from being a minister bound by collective responsibility.
Over the years, my marks on paper have landed me in all sorts of courts and controversies - I have been comprehensively labelled; anti-this and anti-that, anti-social, anti-football, anti-woman, anti-gay, anti-Semitic, anti-science, anti-republican, anti-American, anti-Australian - to recall just an armful of the antis.
I think that the superhero-as-metaphor involves a superhero being some sort of intellectual, emotional, or other such concept writ large. But I don't know that it's a necessary part of the appeal that the superhero be superior.
As it turned out, if you look at the history, everything in superhero comic books pretty much lies between Superman and Batman: Superman being the greatest superhero there is, and Batman being the one of the few superheroes who has no superpowers and is, in fact, not a superhero.
I do love the idea of being able to take an MP to court for lying. There are ways and means of taking an MP to court just now, but it is very difficult.

In the name of Christ, I refuse to be anti-gay. I refuse to be anti-feminist. I refuse to be anti-artificial birth control. I refuse to be anti-Democrat. I refuse to be anti-secular humanism. I refuse to be anti-science. I refuse to be anti-life. In the name of Christ, I quit Christianity and being Christian. Amen.
The longer an event is anticipated-a milestone birthday, an eclipse, a new millennium-the more likely it is to be an anti-climax.
one of those men who reach such an acute limited excellence at twenty?one that everything afterward savors of anti?climax.
Bangalore needs a honest, passionate and hard-working MP, and I will be that MP.
When you get a trophy, why go jumping and crying? Winning's a great feeling, but everything else is an anti-climax.
If you've got no base, it's very difficult to function as an MP. You cannot be a 'virtual' MP, you must be a proper one.
As an MP, I could hardly meet my constituents' genuine needs as the funds at an MP's disposal are meagre.
An MP is an MP whether male or female.
Way too many people believe Republicans are anti-immigrant, anti-woman, anti-science, anti-gay, anti-worker.
