Professor Vernon Bogdanor`s article, `Parliament must be saved from itself` is published in The Times, 14/05/2009, p.26.
`The crisis over MPs` expenses is unique in modern British politics. Previous crises - sleaze in the 1990s, the winter of discontent in 1978-79, the Profumo affair in the 1960s - affected only the governing party. This implicates the whole political class. The beneficiaries could easily be parties that seek not to strengthen our parliamentary system but to undermine it.`
