MP expenses… Why did they try?

Over the past few weeks I’ve heard, like many people, about the Expenses of MPs and what they’ve apparently gotten away with. Just google it, to see more about it.

I asked myself why and thought about it – They are representing the people – they have done what many, maybe not all, their represented people have done at least once in their past.

How many people are scamming the benefits people, have applied for something that they didn’t think they qualified but went for it anyway. Taken discounts at place that they knew they didn’t qualify for but thought they’d try it to see just if…

I think its daft and wrong for some of the things they’ve put in for, but someone had to sign off on them for them to be accepted. I don’t agree what many have done, but do see they have represented the people as the people have acted…

Well, thats my thoughts anyhow…
