It always happens: once the election is over they vote themselves a massive pay increase.  Very few oppose this on principle - mainly because most of those elected MPs don't have any principles!

 

Please sign the petition to Cameron to veto this:  https://www.change.org/p/david-cameron-stop-the-11-pay-rise-for-mps-salaries

 

Note that Ukip has refused the £3.3M "Short money" due to it, but Labour has once again taken its £7M plus in public money, and what's left of the LD's are back at the feeding trough too!  That's something intelligent voters would do well to remember next time around.  If you elect people who put their own interests before the Country, don't complain when that's exactly what you get!

Cam wants to take his rise so backbenchers get theirs! Can't have revolting back benchers with a slim majority can you!
