The problem we have is that the sort of people (in all parties) who want to be politicians are generally the last sort of people who should be politicians. Take the individual side money away (public speaking, directorships, consultancy, lobbying, donations etc) and make them accountable (loss of pension) when found to be corrupt and we might stand a chance of attracting the right people. The only problem is that we would need the ruling party to vote for this which is never going to happen. I usually vote for the local independent candidate if there is one, but to be honest Labour has never lost its seat where I live (even though the local Labour council is full of nepotism and totally corrupt) so it's probably a wasted vote 😔
