House Rules for Parliament: Guest article on the Wardman Wire

Friday 8th February 2008 · No Comments

As part of the Wardman Wire’s series of articles on MPs and Parliament, I’ve written an article on MPs staff and expenses, arguing that

"the present system contains no inherent faults, but rather that the Derek Conway scandal proved how well the current system is coping with dishonest MPs, by providing an essentially political, rather than legal, oversight of MPs expenses. Should this Parliamentary system itself fail, the public acts as the final arbiter of an MPs conduct through elections."

Not necessarily a viewpoint I strictly subscribe to, but one I felt needed to be aired. READ IT HERE.
