You write about 'ethics' but really you write about money, greed and unbridled selfishness.

I have been advocating a National Maximum Wage for quite a time. Even the Church of England is suggesting that one of the criteria it will apply ion assessing investments is the differential between the bosses and the lowers pay of a company ( 75 times which I actually think is to bid a differential, no boss can possible be actually 'worth' more in six months that a lifetime of one of his workers! )

All politicians are doing, just like Tony Blair, is to maximise their earning potential like any footballer or golfer so what is so wrong? Isn't it rather off that many of the bosses of banks profess deep religious conviction - see Goldman's "doing the work of God!" They are of course clinically insane and we have let them be , like Bernie Madoff become insanely powerful mainly through construction the systems of regulation that prevent others competing with them. If we want, or see that we need to change society we need radical actions such as my National Maximum Wage. Everything else in reducing inequality will fail and is indeed designed to fail!

Sorry Justin, I know you are a fan of these things, but the first thing we can do is get rid of the huge overhead that the global warmers are putting on the country.
Did you know for example that Carbon credits cost the NHS 1.3 million pounds?
How many beds would that pay for?
Worse still did you know the governments push for renewables has doubled the price of electricity, the life blood of our IT driven economy?

And for what, did you know that contrary to popular belief sea levels are dropping!? If you don't believe me look at the Topex/Poseidon Satellite data.
Did you also know that during the last warm period Maleria was nearly wiped out? This is why the Roman Empire prospered during these years.

I was horrified, but not surprised to hear about how some of our elected MPs stole, tax dodged and flipped 鈥渢o save a buck鈥�.
There is a common argument that politicians are not in touch with society today. I strongly believe this is true, and feel it has been proven by the expenses scandal.

Even now I can鈥檛 understand some of the more reasonable claims.
Why do they get a food allowance? Isn鈥檛 that what their salary is for? Second home allowance, why are the taxpayers continually buying MPs homes in London? Shouldn鈥檛 these houses be owned by the constituency so that we don鈥檛 keep paying their mortgage fees forever?

I would also like to ask (if anyone knows) what is the average number of houses owned by an MP is? And does this affect their judgment in deciding taxation?

At risk of being modded for being 'off topic', but might a new, or at least additional handle not be in order, all things considered.

Unethical (other) Men (and Women)?

Political strategy has been the alienation of the public, this provides for a manageable number of voters that the parties can count on and mostly know how they will vote. With candidates that just represent some party line, and party lines do not address the concerns of the people, so why should people care. The main reason to care is that through the process of alienation the bankers and their handmaidens took control so if you don't want your money stolen again you may wish to look for candidates that represent controlling the banks and looking out for the interest of the citizens and not big business and banking. Labour and Tory are no different in these matters....there is no left or right..only banking and big business...don't get fooled again.
