Conservative Party pushed down not because of politics, but because ot inadequate individuals chosen as MPs

Conservative Party pushed down not because of politics, but because of inadequate individuals chosen as Members of Parliament. The latest case is Ross Thompson. Too much to drink? Groping men while drunk? At least, Ross Thomson has the excuse of having too much to drink before he engaged in disreputable behaviour.

But two of his colleagues led to the loss of two Conservative seats in by-elections caused by their stupid behaviour. 

Neil Parish, a grown up man caught watching porn in the Houses of Parliament. Is there a rock big enough for him to hide underneath it?

And what about a Muslim convicted of sexual abuse against children? Imran Ahmad Khan disgraced not just the Conservative Party. He is a disgrace to his own community and a disgrace to the country as case after case of sexual misconduct become a pile and there is more to come.

These are the people we chose to depict, but there are more. They are making important decisions that will impact the lives of ordinary people and they don't have what it takes to be a responsible Member of Parliament. It must be said that several other (now Former Conservative MPs) have been convicted and/or jailed for sexual misconduct. 

Democracy? Absolute contempt and stupidity

 

Thousands upon thousands of his compatriots face extreme situations and struggle to survive. He had a very privileged position and treated Parliament with absolute contempt.

You are not paid more than 80,000 Pound a year plus privileges to sit down in the debating chamber of the House of Commons watching pornography.

Let's be reminded that him and many others like him - men and women - are making life or death decisions on behalf of those who put them in the House of Commons.

Nobody expect them to be role-models, but they should aspire to be role-models given the positions that they occupy.

In Britain, there is a growing democratic deficit accompanied by repressive legislation that limits individual freedoms undermining faith in public institutions. Political stability is about trust. This is not happing in one political party. This is happening across political boundaries and it shows how downgraded the political class has become.
