We were expecting to close this blog on 6th May 2010, along with the election, but, since the election hasn't ended yet, neither will the blog. May as well add a few points!

16. MPs

The state should own houses in London for MPs to live in.

The State should provide "pig-sty's" if that is the way MP's are going to behave. (expenses and all that).
Even more regards.... Bernard.
(PS Too tired of politics tonight to leave comments on all your topics.)
A good blog though.)

Thanks for all your comments 'Uncle Bernard'. Some MPs certainly have been behaving shockingly but I still think the profession deserves respect and that MPs should be treated well - not lavishly, but well. And as for temptation - you can't fiddle your expenses if you have no expenses to fiddle. If MPs are provided with somewhere appropriate to live as part of their work they won't be able to over-claim.

As you will probably have guessed, I am not a member of UKIP (!) but I look forward to hearing more from your perspective.
