Rejected petition Dispense with expenses for m.p's
Members of parliament have a track record of taking advantage of expenses, effectively stealing from the uk taxpayer... It has to stop. People should go into politics because of a genuine desire to serve the people, not to line their own pockets at the expense of the people.

If you buy a sandwhich in your break...you pay for it
