If Michael Martin has been a naughty boy, sure he should go. Having said that, how many of those queuing up to stick the knife in are blameless. Martin didn't force them to fiddle thier figures or claim for outrageous items, which in any other walk of life, no one would dream of even thinking of claiming for. By all means sack him, but he should be just be one in the queue for the dole office.
Cameron, Brown & Clegg can't force Martin out & leave people such as Chipping Barnet MP, Theresa Villiers, who racked up a whole range of claims for second homes, whilst living less tham an hourfrom the job, in place. If they do they are being hypocrites.

ReplyDeleteAndrew Dismore and Rudi Vis have also claimed the second home allowance. They should all be required to give us our money back.
I agree 100%.

Not sure that PR is the solution. There is a problem with “first past the post” because it means an MP can be elected on only 40% of the vote, but with PR you lose the link between the elector and elected. We have to use PR for the forthcoming Euro Elections forcing us to vote for a party, rather than an individual. That can’t be right either.
