Something needs to give, we need to find a way to keep any property purchased by them. They lecture everyone else abotu transparity yet when it comes to them they want closed doors.

At it again....

They Never Stopped, In all honesty though did we really expect anything to change....

John Bercow is one of the worst for living off the gravy train.

 

[agnes]

Urgh, I know who I am voting for next, not going to be nice, but they seem to want what the majority of England wants...

 

[Mr-White]

This is why I don't vote.

They are POLITICIANS. This stuff and worse has been going on for centuries. It's just a big boys' club. Like Mr White, I don't vote, either. I think they are all as bad as each other.

 

[Spektor]

Politicians, bankers, tabloid journalism, paedophiles, xfactor contestants, gingers... I'll go warm up the death camps.

Curses...

Build a set of bedsits near the HOP and let them apply for train or bus fares only.

One thing I hate more than the expenses scandal is vague thread titles.

“The processing of the data … could involve causing unwarranted damage and distress,” the Speaker wrote in the letter to the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (Ipsa). “I should be grateful if you and your colleagues would reconsider such a plan.”

Pretty weak argument.

This is an interesting one really.

From what I read the opposition is to publishing MP's addresses. Which frankly is fair enough. You should be allowed that privacy. Any member of the public or celebrity would also complain if they're address was publicly published. Let us not forget all the issues with publishing the sex offenders addresses in some parts. I'm not saying MP's are THAT bad, but in certain areas, I could see the British public being a bit aggressive..

That said, I don't see any issue publishing the names of the MP's who are renting their properties though, and who they're renting them too (presuming they're also a public figure).

If you don't vote you're part of the problem. Yes the system needs fixing but simply refusing to vote achieves nothing.

Put away the clichés.
