Are MP's expenses out of control?

Are MP's expenses out of control?
Political leaders called emergency talks on Tuesday to thrash out a new system of expenses after a scandal over claims for everything from manure to porn films threatened to descend into constitutional crisis.

Commons Speaker Michael Martin, called the hasty meeting in an effort to quieten growing calls for him to resign for his part in the scandal. But political commentators said he would be forced to quit by the weekend.

Brown has called for fundamental reform of the expenses system to try to defuse a scandal that has damaged all the main political parties but is hitting his own Labour Party hardest after 12 years in power.

How do you feel about the current revelations concerning MP's expenses? Is it fair that expenses for MP's are funded by your taxes? Is the current parliamentary expense system out of control?
