I did not intend to imply ethics or accountability in Churchill. He was well suited for WW2, but I doubt suited otherwise.

Politicians aren't supposed to do what the people want, they're supposed to give a clear set of opinions and everyone who agrees can vote for them, and if you don't agree, you vote for one who does represent you.

And if the politician you voted for did no good you can always stop voting for him.

At the risk of wasting breath on a moribund thread, I believe that on his death the Churchill estate was worth a few hundred thousand pounds. Not an insignificant sum, but I grant you not quite the same as ready cash either.

Shame really, but I'm sure that by and large similar opportunities for enrichment existed then as now, though the divide between new money and old my have been clearer.
