MPs' expenses


HOW often have we heard MPs are not in the job for the money?

Well, the disgraceful expenses fiasco that seems to rumble on and on proves that some were.

Greed and a lavish lifestyle were always expected from the Conservatives as they were always deemed to be the party of the rich. Labour was always in this area the working man’s party. But I find it really sad how quick New Labour has embraced the practices, greed and lifestyles Labour always despised.

A General Election looms, As an ex-Labour voter, I think New Labour is doomed as the innocent will go down with the guilty.

If any of them offer First Transferable Voting PR NOW (not their watered down version), along with other obvious critical reforms, I will give them my vote.

Not in it for the money - you try taking the job away from them at election time and they fight tooth and nail, using all the dirty tricks in the book they can come up with.
