corporate world? the goverment isnt a global corporation.. its an elected parliment with ministers who were elected to represent them and there interests.

It does not matter how much money it is, it matters that they created the expenses system, abused it, then altered the expenses system to allow for more abuse (2nd home flipping), then abused it some more, then with the freedom of information act.. they then tried to hide the fact that they abused the system.
