Rejected petition Instead of a 'no questions' allowance for MPs expenses scrap the whole system of MPs expenses UNLESS those same expenses apply to all employees.

More details

There is absolutely no valid reason for MPs to be treated differently from ANY other taxpayer funded employee EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THEY HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO BUILD UP A TOTALLY UNREALISTIC BELIEF OVER THEIR WORTH TO THE COUNTRY. Our politicians are simply not worth the financial drain on the economy that we have allowed them to become. THEY NEED TO BE DRAWN BACK TO THE REAL WORLD OF THE EMPLOYEE, WHICH THEY HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT THEY ARE!
