Not sure whether this is a valid point to campaign on, or if it helps
in any way. Keeping to the principles strikes me as better, but is it
indicative that worse MPs prefer the status quo?


I've been thinking for some time of campaign adverts that go roughly as follows:

[Large picture of Margaret Beckett]

Claimed £72,000 on a third home.
57% of votes wanted someone else.
Why does Margaret Beckett oppose fairer votes?


[Large picture of Hazel Blears]
The taxpayer paid £1800 for televisions in one year.
60% of voters wanted someone else.
Why does Hazel Blears oppose fairer votes?


[Large picture of Paul Murphy]
Claimed £15 for a toilet roll holder and £6 for a can-opener.
55% of voters wanted someone else.
