Lying through their teeth

Please find below an article from the Daily Telegraph and below that the excerpt of a letter I wrote to David Cameron last January that I referred to in my last blog. It is my belief that all parties are complicit in their self serving submission to commercial interests. When the leaders of the parties continually tell you that they are adamant about cleaning up politics in the backdrop of continual discouraging revelations – they are lying through their teeth. Soon the trust between citizen and Parliament will disintegrate and sinister and extreme elements will thrive. This must not be allowed to happen. Reform must be achieved.

“How long will it take the nation to despair of ministers handsomely remunerated by a business world hungry for political sway? It may well be uncomfortable for all parties if the names of MPs with commercial interests in companies pitching for and securing government contracts were to be revealed.”
