Well, one thing you can do Graham - and I suggest you offer to stick this in your manifesto - is to place details of all your expenses (excluding our pub crawl) and your parliamentary diary in the public domain. This would be on a dedicated website - maybe here as well - plus hard copies in the local libraries.

This would include a spreadsheet of your expenses, plus details of what meetings you have attended, with whom, and when and where you have met them and to what purpose the meeting was about. This would range from committee meetings to lobby groups, but not individual constituents. It should be updated on a monthly basis. At least that way we would have some idea of what we're getting for our money.
