I get the very strong impression that most people distrust politicians. Indeed, most of the people I have spoken to on the matter equate them, in the honesty and transparency stakes, with Bankers.

And given the shenanigins over the weekend in Westminster who can blame them? Honorable Members who behave like the binge-drinkers they purport to so abhor.
Honorable Members who do not know that when you have paid your mortgage it is wrong to carry on claiming for the payments.
Honorable Members who think it is perfectly acceptable to spend most of their time on the public speaking circuit, earning vast amounts of money, rather than sitting in Parliament which is what their constituants expect and pay them to do.
Honorable Members who claim to support the public right to a referendum until the party waves preferrment under their noses and then change their tune dramatically.

Liars, Cheats, Thieves, Fraudsters, Convicted Criminals. Ahhh The Palace of Westminster; like the News of the World used to claim, "All human life is there".

And, as if that malignant cess pit were not scandal enough; there is local politics.

That enough vitriol for you Ken? Because if it isn't, there is plenty more where that came from.
