Should MP's be sent to the Tower?? - The Death of A Democracy

As each day goes by it becomes even more apparent that the scale of fraudulent expense claims made by MP's is huge, one question remains: what is to be done?

If we look at the offenses as if they happened in the private sector, then we would expect the perpetrators to be hung out to dry. Simply put, misrepresenting expense claims is a form of financial fraud. If you or I had for-taken in such actions then it is certain that our contracts of employment would have been terminated and the company in question would be following with legal actions to reclaim the money lost as well as criminal charges against the individual in question.

In the simplest context, such activity resembles petty theft. For the people of Britain this is a big issue, I personally see no difference between a tyrannical Dictatorship who lives a lavish life at the expense of the loyal people of that country, and the activity of so many MP's in Westminster.

The fact that this has also gone so far, and as yet there has been no high profile casualties, I find quite disgusting. Jackie Smith should have been force to stand down as soon as the row over expenses erupted. By doing so the government could have showed the people of Britain that the government was not responsible for this detrimental problem. By supporting Jackie Smith, Gordon Brown has surely thrown his future into peril.

Labour is sure to lose the next general election but that is another story, and the Tories will surely have many field-days for years to come.

Getting back to the issue at hand, MP's have stolen from the people, but this is not all, MP's have also defrauded Her Majesties Government. We often forget that the Queen is still the sovereign head of state and thus, by stealing from the tax payer MP's have stolen from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

These people who we the public provide support to, have grossly neglected their duty and public service, we elect them to look out for the general will of Britain, to make decisions on behalf of the public of this country, not to steal from this country.

History buffs may support me in identifying this as an act of treason, the only act still punishable by death in Britain.

My verdicts quite clear: Send them all to the tower.

The Sad truth is that in todays day and age, we still live in an age where the rich and powerful can get away with anything and the rest of us just have to put up with it. Democracy was suppose to fix this, but even after hundreds of years of struggle nothing changes except the methods that the rich and powerful use to do what they want, and without a revolution nothing can be done...
