This is interesting, so are these like a rogue group of MP's who actually take their job seriously and think government should return to its non-theatre basis?
This is possible, but the theatrical value of these (televised) hearings shouldn't be underestimated.
But if politicians asked real questions and demanded actual answers, the theatrical value could be replaced by actual value, which is supposed to be the point of the democratic process in the first place. As it is, more times than not we are paying a massive number of very expensive people to engage in theatre that no one wants to watch to produce results that often do more harm than good, and are rarely resemble what the voting public wants.
