MPs to revert to 'playing the violin' again?

Christopher Hope, Daily Telegraph, writes about the latest report from the Committee on Members Expenses.

And that, Mr. Afriyie, is exactly how we, the people, view MPs!

Now, if our democracy was based on 'Referism' and 'Direct Democracy', the problems about which Adam Afriyie (a multi-millionaire to boot) complains would not have arisen in the first place.

Just saying......................

In the bonfire of quangos we were promised, IPSA should be the last one to go. I think most of us enjoy MPs suffering a bit of the mindless bureaucracy that the rest of us experience nearly every time we interact with government.
