Hi Peter thanks for the comment.  I agree with you totally. Once again drawing on the analogy of the abused spouse, there are many reasons why they stay in the relationship. One of which may be that they are uneducated and feel that they would not cope without their partner, and hence due to this fear they betray their responsibility to those they are supposed to protect (in this case their children), in the case of MP's the populace they are supposed to represent. It is only when outside help is provided that we find that some of the abused will take the opportunity and act upon it. Without this help we will continue to propagate endless misery.
