Expenses reform-What the Parties want

From the BBC, just a link What the parties want

They don’t really go far enough; give MPs a 20% pay rise, do away with “second homes”, make them stay in a purpose built or converted “MP” block, allow claims for travelling only if receipts are provided, admin support to come from the Civil service-paid for by MPs, no second, third or tenth jobs, being an MP should be a full time job.

Reduce the number of MPs by at least 30%, do the same with the House of lords, and publish all expenses claimed on a monthly basis so that we can keep an eye on them.

But most of all hold a general election now.
