It's about time the gravy train is coming to into the station but is it it's last stop?

Published: Wednesday June 25,2008 by Chomerly

I have to agree with Sugarlips to some degree.
There are quite a few selfless MP's out there doing the job as our representive's and voicing the opinions of many of us. That can be seen with the recent rebellions of the back-benchers.
It's the people at the front that seem to be grabbing at every available bit of cash they can while in the same breath they're telling us that we need to economise.
The fact is it isn't just the labour party at fault, it's the conservatives too. In fact, any party that has been in power is guilty of it. What i can't agree with is that it's been allowed to go on with out any real sort of control and it's that which is really damaging our belief in the system. With the current decline in house prices, the increasing costs of food and utilities, the cost of fuel, the soon to be increased vehicle tax and the credit crunch, these front bench MP's should be setting examples for the rest of us to follow instead of looking like exploitee's of the treasury. Would we be allowed to increase our expenses without some form of rigourous accountability? i seriously doubt it.
However, Sugerlips, i won't and can't agree that your assumption of the people complaining about the abuse of tax payers money comes from worthless people of our nation. The complaints from people about how the government has erdoded the rights of the UK public and in some cases abused their positions comes from all levels of society.
