A general election candidate in Streatham has promised voters: "If I screw you over you can sack me."
Rebecca Findlay, the Green Party candidate for the Streatham constituency, said she has based her election campaign on honesty in politics in light of the MPs' expenses scandal.
She said: "People are absolutely fed up with politics and politicians and who can blame them. We're the parliamentary candidates for this election, so rather than just moaning that nobody trusts politicians, its our job to take the necessary action and earn that trust.
"If I behaved at the work the way many MPs have, I'd be sacked on the spot, but if I become an MP then I can't be. That's outrageous.
"The political system isn't protecting the people who vote, so I'm standing up and making a very public statement that I will."
She has named her election campaign "If I screw you over you can sack me."
