Right, lets have a good old fashioned argument,
Expenses, how would you fix the system?

How about having a halls of residence for MP's and scrapping their second home allowance?

You could increase MP's wages in line with everyone elses.

(I helped save b3ta! WormuIus, Tue 19 May 2009, 10:34, archived)
The allowance could be refined into a reimbursement scheme, provable on receipts or smiliar.

I vote for you sucking all of them off
or licking the fannies of the "blair babes" and this would be in lieu of any expense claims.

Their basic salary would be put in line with that of nurses, but only on a pro-rata basis. If they worked fewer hours than a nurse, they'd get less money.

Those who came from privieledge backgrounds would be force fed raw dogmeat just to fucking teach them a lesson.

has it not crossed your mind that these people are in a position of authority and therefore are more culpable than the proles who cheat the benefit system?

Give them packed lunches and ban spanking

Thing is though, we'll increase their wages and it will probably add up to more than what they were claiming in the first place.

It still amazes me that people are like "WHAT?!? MPs being dishonest?!?!" It's what they do for a living, they are going to claim more than what they deserve because of their over inflated view of self worth.
