MP David Chaytor is quoted in the Bury Times as saying, “Democracy cannot function when elected representatives are subject to attacks and allegations and interrogated over every small detail of their lives”.

Without all the disclosures of their expenses, undoubtedly MPs would have continued to milk the system.

One must assume this greed started long before the period covered by the recent disclosures.

I note Mr Chaytor’s own party has so much confidence in him it has barred him from fighting the next general election.
