Thanks for the links. I will try compiling it all this afternoon. Re:"Something similar has been done before: http://markreckons.blogspot.com/2009/05/has-our-electoral-system-contributed-to.htmlPerhaps useful for cross checking results?"
Yes, useful for checking, though he did it only with 250 or so MPs and it was to do with whether they had received negative press coverage, not measuring their use of expenses against safety of their seat (obviously it's hard to compare different MPs' use of expenses because of things like differing travel distances/cost of property in their constituency, but it should be possible to do some kind of comparison that is a bit better than going by the Telegraph). It was quite flawed but as you say useful for comparison.
