Hang on......if our politicians were forced to live within the means dictated by the general public, then maybe they'd think twice before allowing Council Tax, utility bills (through the strangely toothless QUANGO regulators like OFFWAT and OFGEN), fuel duty and rail fares to be hiked over and above even the most ambitious rate of inflation.
Those who are protected from the financial penalties imposed by their decision making have no place deciding policy for 60 million people in this country.

I agree.And letting them have free reign on an expenses system intended to provide them with accommodation when they visit Westminster doesn't keep them in touch with what the average person has to pay out every month.
