The Political Class
Rather than emulate high moral and ethical standards, they seem to act far worse than any average person.
Unfortunately, for a multitude of reasons, voters don't seem to care...
In the U.K. Daily Mail, Simon Heffer begins his writing with this, and then elaborates on how it came about:
"A glance at today’s political class makes us see all too clearly that the concept of shame has almost disappeared from public life.
Men who have lied to the House of Commons still sit there, some in very senior positions. Peers imprisoned for fraud blithely return to the House of Lords after being released from jail.
Some MPs still draw parliamentary salaries despite having deceitfully fiddled their expenses. One such miscreant, Lib Dem David Laws, even attends Cabinet meetings."
