Allegations of former ministers selling influence for cash.

So it appears that influence in the government can be bought with cash if we believe what is being reported by the Sunday Times and Channel 4 investigative journalism.

Actually, I'm not shocked at all, this is no surprise, nothing these money grabbing snout-in-the-trough MPs seems to do can shake me now.  It confirms the fact that some of our elected representatives don't really represent us the electorate, instead they just care about lining their deep pockets.

So, when it comes to the general election and you believe your vote can perhaps in some way help steer the way government decides policy think again. Your vote counts for little - what matters is money. Money buys influence, connections and power.  Welcome to corrupted UK politics, goodbye principles, fairness and representation.
