Are you sure about that?

Yep. He declared it (the money) in his members statements, and the link provided takes you to his London estate. It does not take you to his Scottish estates as I thought it a bit churlish to suggest that he stayed up there.

He did claim the controversial second home allowance during his first year in parliament in 2005. (but that was outside the present expenses scandal timeline)

In addition, he still notched up £102,446 on travel, staffing and spending time away from home during 2006/7. You might want to compare that to Martin Salter (MP for Reading) who said that as he only lived in Reading he didn't need a second home and the MP (name escapes me..sorry) who said that as he was a milllionare he was not going to make any claims.


Threep.

Yes, its called 'tactical voting'. Have you heard of it?

To me it seems pointless joining a party that you're not going to support.

I'm afraid I am not responsible for your lack of political comprehension.

No need to be rude. I just think you should stand by the party you're a member of and not support someone else, that's all. What's the point in giving them your money, if you won't give them your vote.

You also seem to be supporting the Tories, the one major party that has all but ruled out electoral reform that would help UKIP gain seats in Westminster.

If you're really a UKIP supporter you haven't thought this one through have you. The Lib Dems are the best chance of UKIP gaining seats at the election after next as PR is pretty much top of their list of demands of forming a coalition so the more Lib Dem MPs this Parliament, the more chance of UKIP ones the next.
