All MPs think that they can do no wrong and that they can get away with anything they like,so I wish you well in your endevours but alas I think that you will come out at the end of the day with nothing. I have sent a complaint to the commissioner of the Metropolitan Police in regards to the lack of action taken against Mr Conway MP even when he has put up his hands to the crime of theft of public money,he has not been interviewed or arrested for any crime. We will see if the Police take this as seriously as we do! I believe as most people do, that each MP has a responsibility to his voters,to be as honest as he/she sould be and not try to screw as much money out of us as possible before he/she gets booted out of office. Power to the people.

My own local MP's expenses seem to be extortionate and he is perhaps in the middle ranks of troughsville!! I don't have a problem with their expenses if they are fair and reasonable for the duties carried out, yet I can't help believing, as most of the country do, that corruption is rife in the corridors of power. If there is nothing to hide, then why try to hide it??? Politicians should exude integrity and honesty, I'm sure some do, but guess the majority don't. It has become an acceptable "perk" of the job, from top to bottom, from Westminster to local council offices, while hundreds of thousands of pensioners and disabled people struggle for even the basic necessities of life, like eating and heating! I like a lot more will never vote again for any of the 3 main parties until they show us they can be trusted with OUR money.
