I want MPs that would refuse the ~~bribes~~ gifts. Is that too much to ask?

Yes, the majority of these people haven't got into politics for the good of their constituents. It's for the title and expenses account.

That's the worst of it, we paid for their trip!

The problem is we need the people who don't really want to be an MP in charge, we need people who just want to make things better. I'm sure some try, but they're quickly and quietly pushed out.

99.9% of the time, people enter into politics for power and personal / financial gain.
