Given the upcoming elections in the UK, one of the biggest reasons for voter apathy seems to be the complete lack of trust for the politicians.
Of course, we did just have large expenses scandal where it seems that nearly all the MPs were claiming for items on expenses and then we did have several MPs apparently taking commision from businesses to try and influence government policy.
It always seems that where politics goes, corruption and sleaze follows.
So, do you trust your local politician or do you expect him to have a certain lack of morals but to keep it within limits as long as it does not affect you?
Do you think there will always be a certain level of kickbacks and perks in the role or is it possible to perform the job without that external influence?
