EXPLANATION OF IDEA

We, as citizens of the UK have a duty to our MP's we elect them and entrust them with making decisions in our best interests. But we are failing them. We provide them with positions of power and leading role in the public eye and then we let them claim £21,481 towards a second home and 55p for a kit kat. To address this present flaw in the system, we propose a unique solution, the MPad. The MPad consist of lightweight foldable panels that provide rigidity to the structure and it is encased in a tensile membrane which also doubles up as a bag to carry the panels, suction pads and rope ladder for easy transport.

MPads can be customised to reflect individual taste. They are designed to provide a good resistance workout whilst carrying, improve agility and flexibility and hand-to-eye coordination, each aspect of the installation process complies with health and safety regulations for assembly by one person (minimum fitness level required).

The MPads can be attached to a variety of surfaces such as trees, bridges and government buildings, provided it does not put the public at risk. MPads can also be attached to the internal and external facades of the Houses of Parliament, depending on each MP's preference and weather conditions.

Finally, once an MP has completed his term, his is allowed to keep his customised MPad for the use of family and friends.

We believe that MPads will not only solve the second home debate and promote green living, it will also improve the overall health of MP's most importantly, we also strongly suspect than no one will begrudge the hardworking MP his 55p kitkat.
