Re: £10,000 offered to leak MP's expenses
'In his evidence to the standards committee, he said the current MP's salary was "so low in absolute and relative terms" that members of the professional and business classes would be deterred from entering Parliament.'
BBC NEWS | UK | UK Politics | Senior Tory wants MP pay doubled Good. The calibre of 'professional' politicians the current salary has attracted thus far, has been pretty dire. The ones I've met have been no smarter than the average teacher, who survive on condiderably less. From some of the pitiful excuses we've had to endure recently, forgetting mortgages had ended, get all those confusing numbers mixed up on their expenses claim forms, they should probably be receiving a salary equal to that of a circus peformer...one with big shoes, a white face, and a red nose. |

Hell, a doubling of their salary is nearly up there with the massive percentage rise some of our local councillors decided to vote for, regarding their expenses increase, and award themselves.

It'll be very interesting to see the standard of candidate, with the current salary and associated benefits such as a very generous pension etc, that are fielded in Hyndburn at the next General Election.
They are going to have to be pretty special, with the relevant 'special needs' that Hyndburn has to contend with. :rolleyes: |

Re: £10,000 offered to leak MP's expenses
I hear that many labour MPs are not standing for re-election next time, and many tory MPs may well choose not to if they have to give up their other jobs.
What could happen if many seats cannot field either a tory or labour candidate? |

Re: £10,000 offered to leak MP's expenses
I think it will be a fairly interesting election though, as a lot of 'sitting' MPs are standing down. So in many areas it will be new candidates for both party regardless of which party currently has the seat.
I think it will create a more level playing field. |
