Where is there one element of democracy in this decision?

Politics Home reports that after a review of MPs business costs and expenses, a proposal has been made by IPSA that the staffing expenditure budget limit should be increased to £137,200 for non-London Area MPs and £144,000 for London Area MPs, incorporating a 5% supplement for London Area MPs. At present the annual staffing budget is £115,000. (you do the maths)

And those that will have to pay the increase were asked when? And we do not live under an elective dictatorship or democratised dictatorship (same thing)?

Should not those that pay the piper call the tune? Are not those paying for a service which is not being delivered, not able to withhold payment?

Just asking.....................
