Well if you couldn’t be bothered to vote what do you expect?

You could of course take a stand now; publish your expenses anyway, there’s nothing to stop you doing that. Publish them monthly, put your “money” where your mouth is.

You’re right Jake, the US is much more democratic than we are. They have a system more akin to PR, they elect their judges and police chiefs too. Hence they execute their multiple killers, dish out life without parole to people unfit to partake in a civilised society and make child sex offenders live under motorway fly-overs. All things the majority of ordinary decent law-abiding people actually approve of.

This bill would never have been approved in America ie the USA , which has a proper constitution of English feelings and rights all written down . They would have torn Maclean et al to bits for even suggesting it .
Just another nail in the sovereignty of parliament – long overdue to be subverted by the sovereignty of the people – the English people that is .
In 1688 the soveroeignty of the king was ended and his powers transferred wholesale to parliament which has been sovereign ever since – NOT the people .

Parliament is now in such disrepute and the Westminster villagers of all parties so remote and self absorbed that perhaps we should finally establish power , via a written ENGLISH constitution , where it always should have lain – with the people and allowed on a limited and conditional basis only , to politicians .

I forgot to add that the above BBC Have Your Say topic has 326 votes to date – which makes it a runaway success by BBC HYS standards.

Well said, Boris, you are so right. So, what is the answer to the rampant political corruption which is destroying our country?

Perhaps the most recomended comment made to BBC’s Have Your Say on the road pricing topic has it?

“This has nothing whatsoever to do with congestion. There will be no reduction in traffic because 99.9% of people will still need to drive a car. They’ll simply just pay more for it, and NuLabour are very aware of this because they have done nothing to improve or introduce any alternatives.

The principal aims of this absolute travesty are:

1. Increase revenue
2. Track movement of the law abiding populace
3. Create more admin jobs
4. £billions Contracts for their friends’ companies

Civil War I’m With Boris Johnson”

Me too. So what’s the plan, boss?

The complexity of current legislation, referred to above, is being used as a smokescreen to push through this outrageous legislation. Confuse people enough and the opposition will wither in despair.

Thank God for clear thinkers like Boris, who can see straight through it. This is nothing more than an attempt by MPs to hide their expenses sheets and avoid other inconvenient questions.

When was the last time a constituent had reason to complain about a breach of confidentiality with their MP?

Everyone seems to be saying the same thing Boris writes one thing but does another. The same thing is also true about his attitude to Europe where he is signed up to a Cameroon pact not to mention it.

This is an utterly outrageous piece of legislation and an affront to modern democratic processes. Typical New-Labour doctrine though. Lie, spin, cheat; if all else fails hide the evidence.

All this bill will provide is a much desired veneer of protection for Labour scoundrels to milk public funds with impunity.

This is hearsay, but I have heard that certain US Mafia bosses have refused deal with Labour MPs because they’re too crooked.
