MPs are dispensable, public money isn’t

The UK Freedom of Information Act has shown us what MPs have been doing with public money. As many MPs are now losing their jobs, at the very least they have come out and said sorry. Our arrogant prime minister, on the question of misappropriated money and direct orders, said he would do it again. It is unacceptable. What we need is for all money, including what our MPs claim and take for themselves, to be shown. And all misappropriation must lead to the loss of jobs. This will help in the long run. What Malta desperately needs is a total change of MPs, including some in the PL but mostly the arrogant PN so maybe we can move forward and not remain in the 19th century mentality our government and part of society live in.
When politicians forget that they are far less important then the citizens of a country, when they thrust their own religious rules on society, when the best interests of the country are ignored, when they think they have the right to spend public money as they choose, when they expect us to just put up with whatever they want to do it is time for change, either of a party or of the main people in the party in power. Citizens are not dispensable but MPs are. Respect is given by what you do, not by a title.
