I make July 2011 to May 2013 quite a bit less than 2 1/4 years or 115 weeks.

However as a lawyer I'm sure that Mr Phillips is an ideal candidate to be an MP and probably a lot better than the trough feeder he replaced. However I don't think it's right when the MP's position can be looked upon as their second job.
This leaves you open in certain circumstances to a conflict of interest which we have seen in the past from members of all parties can shall we say cloud their judgment.
I've believed for a long time now that politics is attracting the wrong sort of people. IMO it should be a calling to serve and improve not to fill your boots.
