Anyone wondered - IF, MPs can claim expenses on everything from decorarting, to catering to cleaning the bogs and even newspapers, whats the point of paying them £100.000 grand per year in wages, what do they do with it.
Even if they fly abroad on holiday - the taxman US, pay for there flights etc.

If you stopped ALL MPs wages and claims, you would save several million pounds, true. The problem comes because the country needs to save *billions*, not millions.
What you are suggesting would be about as useful as a little boy offering his mum and dad the savings in his piggy bank to help pay off the Bailiffs who have come to repossess the house because his parents have defaulted on the Mortgage.
Still, I can think of several organisations that could make good use of a few million.
