Ministers are preparing to allow people labelled “idiots” and “lunatics” by archaic laws to stand for parliament.
Though it may come as a surprise to voters, laws dating back to Elizabethan times bar this category of people from becoming MPs.
Idiots are defined as those “incapable of gaining reason” and lunatics as people only “capable of periods of lucidity”.
The rules ban lunatics from standing as MPs in “their non lucid intervals”. They also ban anyone sectioned under the Mental Health Act from standing for parliament, even if they have made a recovery.
MPs have to give up their seat for life if they are sectioned for six months.
Bridget Prentice, the justice minister, is to consult on scrapping the laws after complaints from MPs and mental health charities that they are discriminatory. continues here

Many will say that, “idiots” and “lunatics” already hold sway at Westminster but they’d be wrong, parliament heaves with the avaricious, the duplicitous and the traitorous not the lunatic, there is nothing lunatic in what they do, it is planned, fashioned, designed, every tiny change thought out. There is not a one that works in the peoples interest, not one party or individual that advocates for you, you who suffer for their crimes, they suffer an illness it has to be said, an illness of soul not of mind.
