The irony here is that the SNP can have ethics on the issue since they'll never attain 10 Downing Street. When both rivals start doing the same corrupt thing after being in power for a while, it's time to admit that the system they're abusing is broken. That doesn't absolve the people abusing that system from being corrupt scumbags - it just shows that both sides are full of that sort.
This is why we shouldn't engage in the hero worship of popular politicians while demonizing their enemies. It leads to eventual disappointment and feelings of betrayal. If we want to be represented by people that are not corrupt scumbags, we might want to consider revising how we pick our representatives.
Pete brushes it off that "they're all the same", so he gets away with treating us like mugs.
Quite possibly the worst PM in history - certainly relatively modern history. Including Chamberlain, Eden and Brown.

Ideal Christmas present for De Piffle.
Would be inclined to have Cameron above him to be honest. He created this mess then hid in his shed.
History will not be kind to this lot. PMs always care very much about their legacy and it gives me a great deal of pleasure that Cameron knows exactly what his defining legacy is.

He's got to go.
He doesn't seem to get that people don't think the country is corrupt, we think that he and his stinking government are corrupt.
"I show them what I do, I show them how the cards are marked, I tell them what I am … and they nudge one another and grin and each one of them thinks himself no end of a fine fellow to be doing business with me."

When I think of Boris Johnson, I think of that quote, everytime. Because he's so transparently obvious about what he is - a liar, morally bereft, a contemptuous human who knows he's better than everyone else, a complete egotist who'd sell his own mother to advance himself one more millimetre in life, who thinks rules are there to be made and broken by him and followed by others...
... and yet idiots love him for it. Colleagues, voters, the lot, all fall in line.
It's disgusting that he's PM, and the blame for it lies with absolutely everyone.
