Expenses issues affects all political parties

Yet again, the media bandwagon latch onto expense claims by Sinn Féin and completely miss the bigger picture, while the silence from other parties tells its own story.

Why didn’t this story cover the expenses of all parties and the independents as it’s not credible they have nothing to hide. Why else do they all refuse to provide receipts or explain who funds them?

The reason Sinn Féin — and let’s be honest if they do it the others do too — are able to do what they do with expenses is because there are no rules, accountability or transparency when it comes to how much our elected representatives, at all levels, pay themselves.
