Expenses

I just heard on the news that an MP claimed £30000 for gardening, including £1645 for a duck Island. I feel bad about claiming for petrol that I'm entitled to, and most definitely wouldn't get reimbursed for my mortgage.

I'm thinking of standing at the next election (as an independant) purely on the grounds that I will give a reasoned answer to any question assuming it doesn't compromise security, be open and be honest.

2 questions, though;

• How much is the deposit?
• Would anyone vote for me?

Anyway, I'm away for the weekend in 2 hours, so I guess I should start packing!
