    Well done Nick.

    Leading by example.


    No Lib Dem has gone on trial or is under investigation. Shame that cannot be said about the Tories and Labour.

    Well done Nick. A man of integrity.

    I think that is more a function of the numbers game :)

    True, but we have had several convictions now in Labour ranks and one Tory with others in the pipeline.

    We do have our bad apples in the Party, certainly at local level, but I think in the Westminster scheme of things the main two parties came out of it far worse than we did even allowing for the disparity in our numbers.

    I do think this is PR but I also do not think it cynical PR.
    i agree with you.

    when i said a man of integrity, i said i don't know because judging him on what we see of him politically is not the man himself. that goes for all politicians IMO.

    An MP sells a house is a more appropriate title.

    The thread title "UK MPs FLEE PROPERTY!"

    Is worthy of the Daily Mail.

    You see the Lib Dems came out of the expenses very very well. Very very few complaints could be made.


    You're kidding right?
    Chris Huhne claiming for a trouser press and 79p for Hobnobs?
    Andrew George claiming mortgage interest on his London flat used by his daughter?
    David Laws paying 'rent' to his boyfriend?
    Danny Alexander avoiding CGT on his second home?
    Menzies Campbell claiming 10K for a king size bed and cushions?
    I can go on if you wish :)

    I confess, the thread title was OTT. It's a fair cop, detective.
