Pensions after only six years?

Thats fucking depressing.

[poquas]

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 ?

[bootlegga]

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

Why, my fellow Conservative?

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 .
