1115203 2010-07-02 03:41:00 What company would provide free international air travel for private purposes to their executives and board menmbers plus their spouses?
The shareholders would vote them out in double quick time - and the perk would also be subject to FBT.
What is the official employment status of MPs - somehow I doubt that they are classified as salaried state employees - may be they should have that status and be paid under civil service conditions that would see off their perks.

That's because the govt 'legalised' this sort of practices so that this govt looks very 'clean' and corruption free. A smart way of covering up their ugly activities. They have fooled lots of people in this country, though.

1115207 2010-07-02 06:56:00 First and foremost they have to run the country, and much like a business, If you give control over to the workers (like say a union) then that road only leads to backruptcy and collapse.

That sounds ok if it wasn't for the fact EU is near bankrupcy as is the USA.

We need politiciand indeed,but it doesn't follow that all will be well.

True, But I never claimed all will be well, I believe everything goes in cycles, and collapse is part of that cycle.

No doubt about it, this bunch of politicians are not the highest paid politicians in the world. I don't object to pay them higher provided they really work for the people. But if they just sit there doing nothing but to warm their b##### a###, take their spouses for holidays, etc., at our expense then what the hell.

1115210 2010-07-02 13:06:00 And I quote Iron Maiden:


And all the politicians and their hollow promises
And all the lies, deceit and shame that goes with it
The working man pays everything for their mistakes
And with his life too if there was to be a war
