Anyone old than 30 years of age will remember how in the period from 1993-1997 the word "sleaze" became almost permanently attached to the word "Tory" as the Tory party lurched from one self inflicted wound to another. When I read some young Conservative blogs I just wonder how keen they would be to be Conservative if they could actually remember what a Tory government was like. However, Labour seem to be in some sort of competition with the Tories to "out-sleaze" them before they are, hopefully, kicked out of office some time next year.
The latest from Mr Brown's sleaze merchants is that some Labour Lords are being accused of offering to put for amendments to government bills for a fee.
Truly appalling and another reason why the Tories can still rely on a comfortable lead in the polls this year as it seems that governments in crisis cannot help but shoot themselves in the foot.

Unlike you Nich my politics is based on my beliefs and principles not the party. The Conservative party are merely the closet match.
I always suspected you were not a true Liberal, but a socialist with a dislike for the Labour party.
One might take more notice of you if you had the courage to put your name to your posting otherwise it sounds pretty hollow and more akin to mudslinging.
"Unlike you Nich..." I am anonymous coward?
"socialist with a dislike for the Labour party..." Is this not the definition of a Liberal?
Oh how I laughed as I read this tripe comment...
