Standing Down
So far a bakers dozen of MP’s have announced that they will stand down at the next general election over expenses claims that at the very least were not within the spirit of the rules.
The MP’s whilst remaining in their posts for the next twelve months will now benefit by up to £200,000 made up by their salary, expenses and a generous severance payment. Not bad for being found out fleecing the taxpayer!
A means must be put in place whereby constituents can hold their representative to account without waiting for a General Election.

I seem to remember this government stating that there must be “no reward for failure”, does that only apply to bankers?
