‘Are you being badly served’, the employment practices of political representatives exposed, if you have ever been badly let down by your local MP, you might be surprised to find out they are employing their relatives to maximize their household income from the taxpayer, employment of relatives by politicians should by law be made illegal in the United Kingdom














Dear All

Most people have a low opinion of politicians, this seems from corruption, nepotism and cronyism which is repeatedly flagged up in the press.

When you seek help from a politician as a punter, you can find yourself in the position of getting no help at all.

People really do hold politicians in contempt and some of the anger is justified, everyone now and then a party emerges as the party of hope, that they are whiter than white, that they are the new politics.

But it turns out to be a con.

And people keep falling for it, the management of political parties could have done something about their elected public office representatives employing their relatives but mostly they pay lip service to fob people off.
