Personally,i don't think a hung parliament would be such a bad thing.It would ensure proper debate before any laws were pushed through parliament as has happened far too often for far too many years.

Re: Derek Conway,
There was one son who appeared to have spent the loot on gender-bending gear, haircuts and modelling portfolios .. I don't know if this was the same son who as a student was paid a basic ?13 salary with 4 ?10k bonuses.
At a time when the government is trying to make higher education more inclusive and a significant disincentive to participation is debt, isn't it great that someone can participate and be on a high rolling salary at the same time !
The Tory party routinely demonise benefit scroungers and suchlike .. what's the difference in this case? They're rotten to the core !

True.
Also the power of the Whips is far stronger these days than in previous decades.

Re: Derek Conway,
I see that Conway is now protesting his innocence, "Don't call me a crook"
I can think of a lot of other names that I could call him.
He reckons that it would have not happened if MP's were paid more!!!!
he thinks that they should be paid 100k+, forgive me but a salary of 63K + expenses of up to 120K + the new communication allowance of 10k is not enough, what world do these people live in?
I also read that Swiss Tony (Peter Hain) also employs his 80year old mother as a part time secretary & pays her 5K a year.
They make the fat cats of industry look like novices.
