As far as I know only 2 MPs or so were prosecuted. Considering the enquiry cost several million, that doesn't seem like money well spent.


Money spent on stuff like that can act as a deterrant for the future.. So it might be about break-even.


Can also dissuade good people from going into politics if their every expense will be scrutinize nit-picked etc.

Why put up with all the BS and low pay of politics when you can go work for a big company and run up massive expense accounts for lap dancing clubs or whatever else you feel like?

I'd say the jury's out on it...
