It would be interesting to see the actual wording of the vote options. Because there is more to this than meets the eye.

As I understand it one option was to have an expenses allowance but not have to declare how it was spent. If that is correct where does that put Greg Pope and all those who voted against?

I don’t think that there was an option to discontinue the expenses.

So the way this item has been presented by the media could give the wrong impression.

I also notice that the call for fewer MP’s is gaining ground in a comment letter.
The reason she probably voted to stay on the gravy train JB is that she won't be at the station after the next election
