the devil and the deep blue sea....

ok so now many of the m.p.'s who have been outed as maximising their expenses to the fullest are starting to say sorry including the party leaders,and the possibility of an ioutside auditor being brought in to check expenses.
It still means they have got away with it.
Not once in the media coverage have i heard a call for repayment of the abuses only 'i acted within the rules'.
well thats allright then.
this malaise has been going on for years but we have only have had access of late.
Perhaps we can go back and check past accounts.

so is this the end of democracy?
I doubt it, in a coule of weeks the euro elections will dominate and it will be forgotten.
but if any election was due to be held this week then i dare say an interesting split between voter apathy and high profile casualties would of seriously undermined the democratic system.
