People like D5 would like to have a one party/one man Government, no critic no questions asked; a truly democratic system.

Not only can you break the law and be a PT MP member but a few actually became MPs to hide from their crimes .These are new times we live in where corruption is openly embraced instead of quietly put up with .Look to their leader for example .

I wonder if politicians are cloned - in every country. The same issues, the same complaints, the same "outrage" (a much overused word) can be seen in Press, TV, heard on radio. It can all be depressing while folks are being flooded and endangered by the elements throughout the region.

So he resigns and will keep his perks is that not adding insult to injury He should be sacked, fined and may be given a suspended prison sentence.How will this outcome deter others.
