MP's Expensive Expenses

So the UK's MPs have been told to repay £1.12 million of their expenses after Sir Thomas Legg's audit.  Meanwhile the new Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) has replaced the Commons Fee Office to monitor expenses. IPSA will cost £6.5 million to run to keep MPs honest.

So £6.5 million probably pays for 100+ expensive civil servants, which equates to about one full time civil servant to monitor 6.5 MPs.  That equates to over 5 hours work per week per MP to make sure that the MPs are not stealing tax payers money.

Looks like the UK government has an expensive job creation scheme all because MPs cannot be trusted with it's citizens money.  No representation without expensive taxation creation schemes...
