Interesting (as usual) piece from George Monbiot in today’s Guardian about the whole “cash for laws” scandal…
So the circle is closed. The government that won a landslide in 1997 after Tory MPs were revealed to have taken cash for parliamentary questions now faces far graver allegations: cash for laws. Along the way, almost every policy that distinguished it from John Major’s corrupt and pointless regime has been abandoned.
Tony Blair was the Obama of his day when he was first elected, offering change from an unpopular government. Let’s hope the new President can leave a more popular legacy.
