"politicians have a job to do and one that needs doing, and, as with most other professions, the majority do a fair and honest job."

Can't believe anyone had the gall to write that.
"The majority"......all politicians are public servants, all should be fair and honest."
How soon we forget the expenses debacle, when our "liberal" friends led the chorus of vilification.....and we never got to the truth of half of it. The extortionate fees commanded by politicians for private speaking engagements
Blair's role in the Iraq war, supported by almost every politician in the UK, against the will of the people as shown in huge demonstrations up and down the country.

There are only a handful of politicians who are not corrupt, they are agents of a system which promotes corruption.

Don't even look at established American politics, if you do, don't consider repeating your ridiculous assertion.

The EU is the most corrupt and undemocratic organisation in the West, no wonder they seek to retain it.
