If I was an MP

<< < (4/7) > >>

Sider:
I have to say that, being unable to vote on the general elections on account of my nationality, I do feel a tiny bit annoyed at people not voting. Having said that, if I was eligible for voting, I'd really struggle to chose a party/candidate.

What happened to that campaign to get Clarkson elected to parliament? Now that would be my kind of candidate. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

wvanman:
I will vote      for the green (lanning)    Party        lol  :lol:

Don't think this thread was started as a why you should or shouldnt vote.

The problem is how do you stop, lying, thieving, well paid MP's, stealing our hard earned cash to pay for something they could easily afford out of their salary; which we pay!!

For senseless, non work related items.

And if you vote or not has nothing to do with it, you pay tax, you have a right to moan.

We should pay for them to get to work, and pay for staying in the capital. Only if they cant get to the capital and back in under 2hrs. on public transport.

BUT..............

They must keep their bus reciepts, and get a reciept from the night shelter to prove they paid, they would have to pay for food where ever they are so thats a no go. ( does your boss pay for your food? )

And as for second homes, if they use OUR money for purchase or upgrading it, when its sold the money and ALL profit should be given back; not kept as a bonus.

There i feel better for that :dance:

I Think a good idea would be firstly for the MP's to live in the place where they represent  :evil: then after the Olympics (don't get me started on that) they should keep the Olympic village (flats where the athletes stay) and assign one each to the mp's to stay in (or better share) that way they won't need a second home... Like a big mp travel lodge with a big dinning room . they would only need security in one place then saving even more money.

I was listening to http://www.rockradio.co.uk/scotland/ today and one of the dj's made a good point ...If you or me conned £13,000 out of our employer we would be inside , But an Mp has just written a cheque and sent it back and all is forgiven .  He also said if he nicked something from a shop then got caught down the road he wouldn't just be able to pay for it and walk away ..

All their spending should be on public record .....
