Hmmm. Suddenly an election this fall is more appealing!

Whatever happened to MPs opting out of these pensions?

In order to not recieve a pension all you have to do is not sign your name on the paperwork. Has any MP ever refused their pension ? I'd wager no.

We dont need Harper to legislate that do we, just dont file your pension papers. Is principle of character something we have to legislate ?

No, the Reformers all opted out (like Deb Gray)...at least until they qualified, and then they opted back in quietly.

Yes the pension is way too generous for what they do , and usauly they get some high paying job from the party or freinds after any ways, let them suck it up like the rest of us .
