More money for MP's

The 218 MPs who were either defeated or stepped down at the general election were entitled to payouts totalling £10.4m……..These are resettlement payments and in addition to pension and other payments. It is not known how many MP’s have claimed this money but l am sure it will be most of them. This money is on top of the £109,000 MP’s are entitled to for the rest of their life…not a bad deal that at our cost!!!!
Can I also suggest that a majority have stepped down because of the backlash of the MP allowances scandal? Or is that just me being cynical?
Well l hope the new government takes a good hard look at themselves before expecting the rest of the hard working population to lose money from their wages to bail out the country after the fat cats have all filled their pockets and flown the nest….
