Abstract
⺠We examine voters' beliefs about their MP's involvement in the expenses scandal. ⺠Voters' perceptions were surprisingly responsive to public information. ⺠Yet voter ignorance was considerable, while partisan bias shaped perceptions. ⺠Voters mostly failed to punish incumbents based on these beliefs. ⺠Accountability can fail even when information is available and voters are informed.
