As it happens the scandals may be biggies but they're actually quite rare, only three or four a year (and usually the same ones involved).
It possibly just seems like they're all on the make because the papers like to make it look like it and because you don't hear about the ones that are just getting on and doing their job.

I totally agree with you Gayle, it very sad that a few bring the rest into disrepute. On the whole MPs do a god job and as Rindi said in another post they could probable earn more in the city and get less flack for doing it too. My political standing is well known on here, but I have to say that we here in Hyndburn have been gifted throughout my involvement in politics, with first class honest representatives at the palace of Westminster. Aurthur Davidson, Ken Hargreaves and now Greg Pope, as I've said many time previously I don't see eye to eye politically with Greg, but I always see him as a thoroughly decent hard working MP as were Ken and Arthur before him
