I can’t let the week pass without mentioning what’s been in the headlines all week, MPs and their expenses. I can’t help but have a giggle at their expense. The government and the two major parties must’ve been squirming in their comfy pads and second homes this past week as revelation after revelation of what they claimed for expenses (read taxpayers money); from a lemon, yes, a lemon, to a claim for £13,000 for a mortgage that no longer exists. To be fair to the Labour MP that claimed for the latter, it was all a big mistake and it’s been given back. Not enough Gordon says, as he’s now been given the boot. As have a few others, not just in the Labour Party but the Conservatives have done their fair share of axe-weilding too.
Too little too late I would imagine, as the public has lost faith in these parliamentarians. And what with the European Elections coming up on June 4th, I predict an apathy in the voting and I won’t be suprised if there’s a low turnout that day. Nor should the government.
