Odd you should be so dismissive about the massively increased expenses we've seen voted in at local government level, against the recommendations of an independent body, when I remember you agreeing with me, in another thread re: the expenses scandal, that what is fuelling the public's anger isn't so much the actual amount of money, but the principle of doing the right thing, or not, as witnessed in so many cases.
Surely we should expect highly principled politicans locally, just as we do nationally?
Otherwise it would be easy to label someone guilty of gross hypocrisy.
