It has greatly disappointed me, but because I see it as an individual making the choice to abuse the system (and I have no doubt that this has been going on for years), I wouldn't make decisions along party lines. I am sure that there are people in all three parties who have behaved without reproach too...

That being said, if my MP was in my party-of-choice and had claimed for something ridiculous, I would seriously consider voting against them. In that case I would probably lean towards a minor party, although I would consider all the candidates very carefully. I do try to vote for the candidate rather than the one with the right colour rosette.
