How popular will politicians be if they ring-fence their own pensions?

Don't know Patch this one is dodgy indeed. They are already claiming more on expenses and getting away with it than they did before, under the new rules to sort out the expenses fraud. Within 3 months of this government taking power the short fall in MPs pensions was paid up in full by the taxpayers. It came to tens of millions. They voted on that as well and the vote was unanimous. I reckon they will ring fence their own pensions or make new rules to cover themselves. My old grand dad once told me that once a thief always a thief. In this case of the MPs you can pretty well count on that being spot on.
