MY father, who died more than 35 years ago, had a saying that all MPs urinate in the same pot (or words to that effect).
He believed it made little difference to the man in the street which party was in power, as MPs were all clueless and most were in it to feather their own nests. I often wonder that if he thought that then, what on earth would he think now?
