It's about time some, if not ALL, MPs had a pay CUT for the way they are running this country. X-(

Perhaps a good look at the costs of the IPSA would not go amiss, one would think a cost of over £9,000 per annum for each MP. is somewhat a lot of money to spend on administration.

Also possibly the cost of actually becoming an MP. could be looked at as you would have to be rich to even contemplate it.

A study last year among Tory MPs found a winning candidate may have needed to spend over £42,000 and a loser couls have spent over £27,000.

I don't think many MPs would do it just for the money.
