| 1359322 | 2013-11-11 02:40:00 | Are you guys angry that it is happening or that your own heads are not in this trough? Would you, if you became MP's and were in the same situation as they are now, not take advantage of this legal process? In all probability most people would. I belive that the sad fact of the matter is that there are a lot of politicians who start out with the belief that they are put on earth to save us all however they soon find out that the system does not operate like that and they quickly join their fellow politicians in the trough with very little resistance. Mostly they come across as a lot of sanctimonious hypocritical a**h*ls who think that the have all the answers. They do not! Fortunately we live in a democratic system and we get to vote them out if they get too arogant. |

What, you mean we vote in another lot so they too can get to the trough, it seems to be self perpetuating. |

Yes, you are quite right that we can vote them out, but, whoever you're going to vote in will make no difference. At least, it's true in NZ's present political situation. |

Well, all those god ol' boys from the Southern states were "following the rules" prior to the US civil war, but that didn't make it right. |
