It wasn't that long ago that the House of Parliament was structured to let true professionals maintain their day job, with parliamentary business starting at 2pm, with voting at 10pm.
One Liverpool/Manchester barrister commuted each evening to vote in person.
The Civil Service are the 'competent adminstrators'.
Term limits would be good. Seat blockers like David Amess achieve close to zero across 20/30 years in parliament. He was little more than a distant local councillor.
