The Parliamentary scandal at Westminster over illegally claimed expenses continues and casts a pall over a growing number of MPs, inluding the PM who agreed to pay back some of the cash. Luckily for the Conservatives, their leader David Cameron is one of those politicians who have a clear record on the issue, which might be a real asset in the upcoming election campain and a boost in terms of public trust. The scandal was revealed by the investigation led by the veteran MP Thomas Legg, who now attracts serious criticism from his colleagues, unhappy with his zeal and his tendency to judge on retrospective decisions.
