Petition Make MP's expenses payable from their political party funds and not the taxpayer

The people of the UK hear about cuts to public services they rely on but also about the financial slight of hand performed with MP's expenses.
Take this burden off the public purse.
Call it an austerity measure.

More details

Assuming approximately £100,000 of expenses per MP that saves over £60 million per year that could be spent elsewhere for the benefit of the people.
