    In all honesty I think £65,738 for an MP is about right.
    What I have a problem with is all the extras and expenses that bump it up. Plus some of them have other jobs which bump it up even more.
    I also of course have a problem that the Majority of them are total wa--ers who couldn't organise a in a brothel

    I'd go along with you there Marco, salary about right but the expenses are still far too high and easily abused. Wasters not dealing with their constituents like that Labour MP from Middlesbrough who just died http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tees-19936270 should be sacked

    As people rightly say expenses are a con. If any of us had to commute to work we would have to pay. Companys wouldnt give us money to rent a apartment. (We are all in it together? What a joke.

    This is the problem nowdays. Politics is seen as a profession. Years ago people went into politics to serve and they usually had some sort of expertise in a particular field.
    The modern day MP has never done a days work in their life with the exception of 1 or 2. We have had a series of Chancellors across both Parties who have had no real experience in the world of finance, yet we allow them to control the countries finances.
    The expenses thing is a joke especially when alot of them hire family members who probably don't do a thing.
    It's possible to become a millionaire now just by being a politician. Ask Neil KInnock.

    It depends. I commuted to the rigs from Manchester ( and Leicester ) to Aberdeen for donkeys years and claimed all food, accomodation and travelling expenses back.

    According to the article "MPs' pay has been frozen for 2012-13, with plans to consult on a 1% increase in the years 2013-14 and 2014-15."

    Rig workers still do, Andy, if they don't live in the city of their point of departure to the rig e.g. Aberdeen.

    They also get free food and free laundry on the rig.

    The expenses you can claim may be dependent on your contract of employment and what is classed as your place of work.

    My interpretation for a MP is that their constituency is their normal place of work and they will have expenses when travelling and staying in London to attend parliament.

    If I was away on business from my normal place of work then I would expect to be paid expenses such as food and hotel.

    The problem with the MP's is that they exploited the expenses system and claimed more that they should have.

    That's roughly how it works for rig workers.
