A case of a few bad apples causing the throwing out of the good ones in the box as well even though there is nothing wrong with them. The drip feeding of the allegations feeds this yearning we have for a good scandel and helps boost the outrage of the public. They are playing on the fact that we will always jump on a bandwagon before we know the whole story. Its like we enjoy the mass hysteria it creates and we thrive on it. My own MP hasnt missed this bashing and from what i have read, his statements about it etc he is far from clean. He furnished homes up here claiming it was for in London. We have developed a culture of pure greed, the need to have everything for nothing along with a sod the rest attitude. Someday historians will look back and consider how the hell it happened under the noses of all.
One downside to all this is that if they force MP's from their seats with this backlash we will end up with a lot of very inexperienced MP's and very few seasoned ones. If this happens who will take the blame MP's or the media or will it be both them and the public at large.
