Thing is, Susie, MPs haven't exactly covered themselves in glory in recent years, have they? Despite what the party zealots say, both parties have contributed to the country's decline, by pursuing short-term political advantage to the detriment of long-term national interests. And they've certainly been quick to dip their snouts in the trough. Was it half of the last parliament who were found to have expense irregularities? Even though reforms have now taken place, they still do alright for themselves - a £60,000+ pa salary, expenses and a very generous pension, at a time when ordinary folks' pensions are being cut.
If being an MP's such a demanding, stressful job, it's funny how there's no shortage of candidates when election rolls around!
