Expenses payback...a question of Judgement!

David Cameron is ordering some of his MP's to pay back bits of their dodgy claims, including Gardening Bills, under floor pipes for a Tennis Court (obviously not quite as necessary for the job of MP as first thought), swimming pools and £7000 on Furniture.

This is clearly welcome but does not address a fundamental issue. That of the judgment of MP's.

If we cannot trust MP's to make a good judgment call on something as simple as whether something is a legitimate expense, how on Earth can we trust their judgment on taxation, the health service or whether we go to war or not!

It really is time for a change!
