I disagree. There are politicans from all sides, whose primary concern is to benefit others, rather than themselves.

Even in these financially challenging times there's still more money to be made in the City or the Law, than there is in Whitehall (or Scaitcliffe House.)

I'd prefer to see the modern equivalents of Jenny Lee, Aneurin Bevan, and Bessie Braddock in politics. Their main raison d'etre for being involved in politics was primarily to help those less fortunate than themselves in society.

(I'm sure there must be a Tory old timer who had integrity, to add to my list, it's just that I can't think of one off the top of my head.)
