The British public is turning on it’s elected MPs as the expenses scandals continues. A window is smashed, a garden is vandalized and vengeance is demanded from the Westminster representatives. Many people feel that the greed in Westminster is ‘not politics, but theft’, and the pressure is mounting on Brown to call a general election.

Who would win? The parties are as bad as each other when it comes to the MPs expenses. Some have claimed for the upkeep of their gardens. Some have claimed for cleaning their moat. Others have claimed for mortgage interest payments. Flipping has become a hot topic, and the first minister has been sacked. Justice minister Shahid Malik got the boot when it emerged that he had claimed for £750 for a massage chair and £2600 for a home cinema. The straw that broke the camels back and the official line from Downing Street was the allegations Malik was letting out his Dewsbury home, which is a breech of the ministerial code.

Amid the political fallout, the Crown Prosecution Service and the Metropolitan police have said they will set up a special investigations team. A senior from the Met said they would assess allegations in order to decide whether criminal investigations should be started. This must be music to the outraged public’s ears, as a majority wants the shamed MPs to stand down and face the consequences.
