Is the UK Parliament corrupt?

There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Better question- is there anybody ruling who isn't corrupt in someway? Anywhere?
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

You'll love this from 25 years ago.

More than any other legi body?Is the UK Parliament corrupt?
And if they are, whatchagunnado? A couple hundred years ago over here, it was pichforks and torches, and declarations and gunpowder. Nowadays, it's "vote them out", or "whatchagunnado; it comes with the side salad, like breadsticks. Grin 'n bear it. There's nuttin you can do".
"Vote 'em out" I can live with, and actually prefer. The peaceful transfer of power via the voice of the citizenry is how it oughtta be, IMO. The "whatchagunnado" attitude bugs me to no end; it turns every citizen into a victim, desperately flinging about trying to master 'the system', so to be less a victim, more a guy in the know.
Does "corrupt" = propose and pass laws that result in personal gain to the law proposer/passer?
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

Find me a legislative body that is not corrupt, and I'll find you a legislature full of good liars.

Re: Is the UK Parliament corrupt?
In my honest opinion, I find the dictates of 1688 to be out-moded, Parliament has been living off 1688 for far too long. It has brought us to 2009, a time when the government can barely rally a regiment of people whom believe in its justness, no matter the party in power.
The destruction of the Lords, rather than the restructuring of it, has given the Commons far too much power, and it is towards the lower house which I point my finger at.
Either the Monarchy must be brought to have a more active role in the protection of the "constitution", or a proper entrenched, written constitution must be created. In which case I would be glad to see the Republic re-established.
Just and fancying wonder, but would that then mean that the time since the Restoration and the re-establishment of the Republic could be called the Inter(insert whatever Latin word is appropriate for Republic, Respublica?).

I managed to watch every episode on YouTube before they took it down at least twice. I'm now looking for the DVDs at a reasonable price.

A proper Constitution, is all that is needed, if Parliament keeps on denying the people this basic right of modern society then it should be got rid of.
