When corruption is so deeply entrenched it is the beginning of the end for democracy.
There is nobody left worth voting for.

A clean sweep, and transparency?

Yeah right.

That will be tax free as well.

Well I'd vote for him, we may not always see eye to eye, but he's as straight as a dye, and that's all you can ask of any politician

BBC NEWS | UK | UK Politics | Duncan sorry for MP pay 'whinge'

Shadow Commons leader Alan Duncan has apologised "unreservedly" after he was secretly filmed complaining about MPs' pay and expenses.

The Tory MP was heard to say MPs were being treated badly after the expenses scandal and "have to live on rations".

Mr Duncan said the remarks, made to film maker Heydon Prowse of Don't Panic magazine, were meant as a joke.

Why say the comments in the first place?

Because some MPs have a sense of humor especially Alan Duncan, he has to have

Yes he was very humorous on Have I Got News For You, when he said he'd kill a beauty queen because she didn't support same sex marriages.

Killing those that don't share the same views, hilarious.

Still, he has made me laugh.

Only weeks after his smarmy dismissal of the expenses scandal on Have I Got News, he did some pretty funny retrospective grovelling.

To be quite honest Rindi, I'd be more worried about some disgraced unelected Lord running the country whilst incapability Brown was away, the same lord who, if he'd been Joe Public, would have had his collar felt by he Plod for Mortgage fraud

Alan Duncan is definitely funny, just not in a good way.

'The following year, the MP published a book, Saturn's Children, in which he called for the decriminalisation of all drugs, the scrapping of the welfare state'

'Duncan, like Francis Maude and Michael Gove, enjoys immunity because he is an inmate of Cameron’s gang hut. In contrast, Sir Peter Viggers, of duck-house fame, found that his feet did not touch the ground on the way out of public life in the wake of the MPs’ expenses scandal. But Duncan is a Cameroon, an icon of “modernisation”, much hyped by the more absurd Tory bloggers.'

That's an outrage!

If I was andrewb I'd sue the Daily Telegraph.

Jen. On the same film apparently you have Nigel Evans the Tory M.P for the Ribble Valley joking that he couldn't manage on a M.P's salary.

This is the same Tory M.P who voted against the minimum wage!
