Nick Clegg and MPs "parachute" payments

Any MP who loses or resigns their seat at the General election is entitled to a "resettlement Grant" of up to £64,000- tax-free!

If an MP loses their seat to a rival party - fair enough.
If they step down - no way! This is even more crucial if they are stepping down due to expenses revelations. Whilst I don't normally vote Lib Dem, Nick Clegg has it totally correct these MPs should leave Parliament with no pay-off.
