How much has your MP claimed? Have a look here...

Wednesday, 10 June 2009
The Renegade Economist has been sent some of the data behind the MP's expenses row.

Here is the spreadsheet for the 2007/8 claims -  interesting reading.

No-one at Renegade Economist HQ realised that it was so expensive to live in Falkirk - Scotland.

The power really has shifted - we the public now understand that politicians are a colossal distraction.

We must to take up the agenda - that's within the rules.

    I'm getting a 404 error, I'd guess something is broken; any chance of a fix?

    No problems downloading the files... a benefit of Apple-Mac?.

    Looking at the claims the most revealing thing I notice is that the totals claimed are so even. The ceiling seems to be around 160k and MPs then seem to distribute this between the different catagories of expenses. So my next enquiry would be about the spending limits within each catagory. If an MP spends more on housing do they then have to reduce spending on office expenses, postage and I.T.?
