Background
Recent Governments and Political parties continue to be mired in controversy and this behaviour in some ways denies us a functioning democracy. MPs refusing to clearly answer questions denies the electorate scrutiny. The recent stamp duty case and the appointment of the UK ambassador to the US are among 2 of the latest scandals. Police officers would have been sacked we see politicians act without honesty and integrity and face far less sanctions. Take the inestigations away from politics
