Well consider this. The MSPs (this is the McParliament not the UK one) sat for the first time for 300+ years when it was opened. So you think maybe they would pass something worthy of the historical occasion as their first law or even their first debate ?

Nope.

The first vote was to give themselves the same salary and expenses as UK MPs.

On the good side though they realised early on that the system was broken and open to corruption and revised it. Not enough though.
