Can they sink any lower?

This government, especially David Blunkett, is thoroughly evil. When can we get one with moral stature higher than pond scum?

A single polititian with moral stature higher than pond scum is likely to be a challenge, let alone a whole government's worth :(

My parents are politicians, and have been for ~30 years. I have a lifetime's experience of the effort they put into their political work, the demands made upon them, and the tangible results.
I get my morals from them. Whether you regard that as further evidence to support the pondscum hypothesis is entirely up to you ;)

However, I think Plato had it right: "The penalty that good men pay for not being interested in politics is to be governed by men worse than themselves.
