We need to choose the approach the Military has - where "conduct unbecoming of an officer and gentleman" is a crime. As I have the controversial view that bieng in charge of the country is important.

Failing that, have the same approach the Pharmaceutical Industry does where the rules are enforced by an independant panel and one can be in trouble if what one did gives a bad impression.

But no. Even suggesting that stopping subsidised drinkies at work is unfair and finding evidence of cocaine on most toilets gets mildly tutted.

There were some independent bodies that sort of oversaw certain aspects of government and elections, but this government has brought them under its control. The electoral commission is now expected to follow government guidelines as per a couple of months ago. The independent investigator into government affairs, as per this week, can now only investigate with the PM's permission. And of course, people without photo ID, overwhelmingly a group that votes non-Tory, are no longer allowed to vote.
