We are very lucky in that we have a dedicated and hard working constituency mp whom I will vote for, not on party lines. Am absolutely appalled - there is no possible justification for using public money for tvs, moat cleaning, food etc. Most people have a VERY clear idea where that money comes from! As well as a very fair salary being an MP opens directorships, speaking opportunities etc. PS It is another inditement of current mainstream politics that you include "BNP" as a "minor party" - the scandal plays straight into their hands and is another very worrying aspect.
