No Less...I know you weren't.......and it is an interesting idea. It would indeed be wonderful if we could find those trustworthy people.
It seems that those we trust, soon become untrustworthy once they get their hands on power.

here is a short comment from an article written by Dominic Sandbrook in The Mail online today...it says what many of us on here have been saying for what seems like forever.

In the past few decades, too many MPs have stopped seeing themselves as representatives of their home areas, or even as representatives of larger social and political movements.
Instead, they see themselves merely as individuals, fighting for promotion and survival like characters in a box-set drama.
