Sorry but that doesn't wash with me and a lot of the electorate who are having to tighten their belts. As far as I'm concerned a lot of MP's (not all) are just extracting the urine because it was "within the rules". I wish the Freedom Of Information Act had come in sooner and then we might have had a full picture of how the country has been milked. But as it is most parties are implicated making it difficult to decide who to vote for as it seems a lot are there just for their own gain and sod the electorate  |
Just a thought: can British MPs vote themselves salary increases as they do over here
And, if they can and do, are those increases in line with what the peasants get
