The problem, Brats, is that we are the regulators. In recent decades the electorate has become further disillusioned with the political systems in this country. Without the public taking an interest years of status quo loom ahead. Whether it be Labour or Conservative administered.
The idea of our democracy is that you hold the person you vote for accountable for all of their decisions they are making on your behalf. Ideally that'd mean they would never stray from their promises and would vote exactly how the majority of their electorate felt. Sadly that doesn't happen, especially with the public not caring. Scrutiny of MP's is probably at an all time high, but only because the media is looking for sensationalist material. When it comes to the important, boring, facts they are usually ignored in favour of the newest smear/sleaze story.
Being an MP, for the majority it seems, is about power and wealth nowadays.
