I have just read Heather Brooke's book 'A Silent State'* and this video of her interview on 'Hardtalk' is quite illuminating as she talks about her campaign to 'open up' MP's expenses and the problems which she encountered.
On comment she makes is quite telling, which to paraphrase, is that politicians were of the opinion that they believed the public were there to serve them, rather than that they were there to serve the people.
* Highly recommended - see link in side bar.

The only Heather Brooke I know is the anti-sleaze campaigner.
