It's easy to say "ah but they should be greatful at this time" but we have to realise if we want clean politicians maybe like everything else we have to pay for it. I would also put a lower age limit on being an mp and some proof of living in the real world as a requirement of the job as well because my local mp couldn't understand my problems if i spelt it out in forty foot high neon letters for him.

It`d probably help Rizzy if elected politicians in our country came from a working class background so that they knew the needs of/for the people that they were going to serve, it helps to know the real world before you can change it.
