All rises should be stopped until the rest of us taxpayers who pay their salaries can also have the same.

Most taxpayers do not work as hard as (most) MPs do.

They need a massive pay rise, the current salary only encourages elitist wealthy people and the middle classes who can afford to work in london. Also it doesn't help with people wanting to cheat the expenses system.
I don't know why we worry about MPs who "run the country" when we all know what runs the country the media. The Mail, express, sun, star, news of the world and the news programmes on telly with vicious reporting.

No they dont. All they need is government housing that they can occupy whilst in london and all normal household bills are covered, which is given to the next MP for that constituency if they fail to get re=elected. _________________Finally joined Flickr

Well I can agree with that. Just thinking next parliament there are going to be many MPs out 200 new ones all ready to make new mistakes just makes me so excited.

No they dont. Sure they do, the level of work they have to cope with and the hours they put in easily puts them into the same category as GPs etc. It can't be right that some civil servants earn more than Ministers.

Puts them above that especially if they have a distant constituency.
