Keith,what example is given to these individuals,the rich and powerful can have what they want with limited repercussions.Is this the correct foundations for a fair and equitable society.The bastions of power have been seen to be a rotten edifice,how can trust be rebuilt and people re engaged with society in general.

Don't put too much faith in political structures to tame the base side of human nature which lurks constantly beneath the surface.
