No the problem is the system has broken down. Normally they don’t do shit like this because it costs them votes, but since they know they’re going to lose anyway they now don’t care anymore. This is a very obvious floor with the system but it’s never been fixed because up until relatively recently, MPs tended to act with least a little bit of decorum / The scandals they got up to were mostly related to having various affairs, rather than inappropriate financial dealings.
Sounds like y’all are gonna have to figure out a way to make the law apply to the rich. Good luck. We’re trying over here as well and there’s been some progress lately but it’s been less about getting the rich to submit to the rule of law and more about us getting so pissed off at one of them that the rest of them are willing to sacrifice him to maintain their own patrician standing.
