The tradition in Westminster is to refer to anothe member as "the honourable member for..." (unless they have another earned title).
Considering the recent debacle with expenses, is it not time this tradition were stopped?
I note that many MPs are recognising that the way they have used the MPs allowances system "may" not have been illegal, but was moraly unjust.
I also note that not one has resigned their seat with immediate effect.
Could this be something to do with the fact that if they stand down at a general election they get generous severance terms, yet if they cause a bye election they get nowt!
They do seem to find it difficult to extract their fingers from the till don't they?
