# Transparency

The rush to 'reform' MPs expense claims is the usual response but entirely unnecessary. All it'll do, as with most of these things, is generate a new set of rules to create the appearance of addressing the problem, but which will in reality allow the piggies to keep their snouts in the troughs - the only difference being that the troughs will be a little smaller than before. For now, at least.

Instead, the past week has shown quite convincingly that the only thing that is needed to control MPs expense claims is for them to made public every now and then.
