Drop in session/office hours type deal for constituents. Our mps can help citizens (usually by writing strongly worded letters) with small civil matters like planning/building regulations, issues with county council (local government) and so on. It's also an opportunity for people to lobby their mp about national concerns too.

Like a professor's office hours at a university.

Yeah, my pedantic unnecessary retort was going to point out the GDP thing but then note that there's some interesting commentary around saying "size" when five Canadian provinces are larger. But mostly that was me still being annoyed at the Davos soundbites

Well, politicians are supposed to represent their electorate, which happens to be people, not land, or profits.

Though given the recent years' heavily publicised American approach to elections, I'm surprised you guys haven't made the change to "land votes" or "money votes", given the former seems to be what most of Americans believe to be true (especially when looking at election maps), plus the latter seems to be true anyway...

But California's economy rivals most countries. Last time I checked there were only five countries with larger economies.
