Bizarrely, the scale of abuses noted were an order of magnitude worse for the tories than labour... yet more of the mud has stuck to the 'lefties' (who are really a thinly, if at all, veiled righty party these days) than the already rich.
Why? Well, the public expects the reactionaries to be corrupt.
About 35% of people say they'll vote for those reactionaries in the coming election.
Me - agog.
