I like the idea, because it will also force (I hope) Labour members to improve their own behaviour.

In the Title "The Tories Corrupt?", the question mark is superfluous.

A second term with a greater majority.

A thread about Tories engulfed in sleaze again but no, lets harp on about Labour instead....

Both of you are reading into what I said things that aren’t there.

Obviously Jackie is a Labour supporter, so has a degree of partiality.

My view - expressed but not understood - is that both the major parties are less of an example of moral leadership than they ought to be.

Let’s not waste time pointing the finger at the other side. Instead, let’s recognise the faults in the party we support and encourage change.

For clarity, I support none of the major British parties, and view general elections as an exercise in damage limitation.

The vast majority of people who put themselves forward to be MP's do so because they want to 'make a difference', when the they get to Westminster though there seems to be a split in the paths they take. Most such as David Amess dedicate their whole parliamentary career serving their constituency while the likes of Owen Paterson and Matt Hancock willingly jump on the slippery pole of progression and power even if they are not up to the job. Once you have a bit of power and influence it's easy to be tempted into thinking you can do no wrong and abuse the position you're in. Unfortunately the Tory Party seems to attract more people like Paterson and Hancock than the other parties so it's understandable it gets labelled as the party of 'sleaze'. 

Coincidentally, yesterday also saw the conviction of a former Labour MP currently sitting at Westminster as an Independent.

Clearly there are 'wrong uns' in every party.
