In the main they think there are different rules for them, the elected ones, to us...the ones who elected them. Their contempt for us is palpable as is seen by the fiascos of the Huhne case and the Lord Rennard allegations.
National politics is rotten to the core and needs some desperate event to sort it out.
Those at the Palace of Westminster care nothing for the common man....or for the future of this country. The only thing they care about is saving their necks and having a nice fat nest egg to live high on the hog off.

No Margaret one is quite sufficient really. The only person I know or should I say knew who broke that mold was the late Ken Hargreaves, Ken was quite unique really all he ever did in life was to help people in need of help regardless of political leaning race or creed, I can remember one of Kens Neighbours talking to me the morning after he lost his seat in 92' He just said, "will the council be mending the pavements now" I looked a little bemused at this statement and just hey, they'll need to fill the rut in leading to Kens front door which has appeared over the last nine years with people coming to see him, think that said it all really.
