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.
