If some MPs don't like it, there are plenty of Brits who would love their job and would love to replace them at the polls. So go on yer 'Furious MPs", "quit over new expenses blitz". <br /><br />If u guys think you should still get second home allowance without submitting basic paperwork - then by all means quit. <br /><br />And what is wrong with an MP writing 'That the amount claimed is accurate'. <br /><br />People claiming benefits have to sign that the informatino they give is accurate. <br /><br />Why should MPs be above mere mortals? It is tax payers money that they are claiming after all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
