MPs Expenses

I had promised myself that I wouldn't blog on MPs expenses. There are after all legitimate expenses that anyone doing a job would be able to claim, and if MPs were claiming similar expenses then that would seem to be OK. But, I've read with increasing amazement and now rage, the range of items MPs have been claiming for. I never believed that so many of our elected politicians, Labour and Tory alike, could behave like this, and give politics such a bad name.

Its clear to me that massive reform is needed and every MP who has over claimed and abused the system should be kicked out by the electorate. All I hope is that opportunity to put those MPs on the dole queue comes sooner rather than later.
