They’re all scamming cunts, including the SNP It's the most by a fair chunk. And yea, they are all chancing bastards, if you read my post to pipes you'd see I actually agree with you. This attitude of "they are all scamming bastards, so I'm going to vote for the ones scamming the most" is absolutely bizarre. Link to comment
NEM Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Per head I doubt it’s as high as the SNP given they make up 8 of the top 10 Not sure anyone’s said they vote for a party based on their expense claims tbh 1 Link to comment

Who's in it for me? Is what you should be asking. Plenty decent MPs who claim little expense and try just represent their constituents without taking advantage. Link to comment

How often do they hold surgeries even? Once a month? Probably better off living in London and travelling the opposite direction to Inverness, all queries can be dealt with via FaceTime or E/Mail. Thousands upon thousands of taxpayer cash on a guy who earns 50k more than the national average. Farce. Link to comment

Also, we can't complain about MP's being shite and expect them to be poorly paid. No one good enough to represent us is going to accept a salary (after expenses) of £25k. Why would they do it? You'd just get even more dodgy cunts who will be taking bungs all over the shop. Expenses should be tightly controlled and only used for legitimate purposes (not things like lunches, etc) but if you think capable people will do the job for effectively a below average salary, you're deluded.

Well if they are doing it in the money for the first place, surely that's fucked? I'd argue making it a high salary like it is, attracts the wrong kind of folk, who view it as a job. It should be viewed as a public service, and they should earn no more than the national average of their constituents, who they are there to represent. There's corruption anyway, whether or not they earn an inflated wage. Link to comment

Politics shouldn't be a place for careerists, it should be for people dedicated to public service and trying to make a difference. I wouldn't have an issue with them claiming expenses if they earned an ordinary wage. It should be viewed as a privilege to represent the GP, not a job. Link to comment
caledonia Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 @NEM caught lying for the Tories again In fact last year the Top 8 claimers were all Conservative with number 9 labour and one SNP at number 10.
