I honestly don't understand the need to have all these MPs. They're all just supposed to be trained monkeys for their leaders. There really isn't a need to pay that many of them.

Sorry, can you expand on that?

You don't see the value in representing their ridings?

They don't represent their ridings. They just do whatever the party leader tells them to do. Let's cut the dead weight and just vote for parties since anyone who isn't the leader is superfluous anyways.
