Incidently I did vote in the last election but I wont be voting again until the voting system changes as my area is a safe seat.

Back on topic, 37million is very little yes some money isnt spent efficiently but I think if we are going to do something about it then much bigger wastes of money should be looked at as well.

A safe seat is only a safe seat because the people in that area vote for the party or person they want. The MP's have been "chosen" by the people, it doesn't matter why they chose him/her........ for their party, looks, personality or policies....

You can't get away from the fact that MP's are chosen by the people....... Royals are not.
