Latest Scandal

So who are the members of the coalition government who have been 'close' ?????

To Nool?

correction, its not members of government but the revelation can cause cameron some uneasy politically.

daily mail seems to be playing the press censureship card, im sure all will be revealed soon enough.

As long as it's not a scandal involving a member of the government & Cameron's horse, I don't care. (It will be fun watching them squirm though).

Is it about the Lords?

Selling their motions for cash, asking questions on behalf of other's with vested financial interests so it doesn't appear dodgy, etc.

The Nolan committee created seven principles of public life. These are often ignored.

Quote :

Selflessness - holders of public office should take decisions solely in terms of the public interest. They should not do so in order to gain financial or other material benefits for themselves, their family or their friends. Integrity - holders of public office should not place themselves under any financial obligation to outside individuals or organisations that might influence them in the performance of their official duties. Objectivity - in carrying out public business, including making public appointments, awarding contracts, or recommending individuals for rewards and benefits, holders of public office should make choices on merit. Accountability - holders of public office are accountable for their decisions and actions to the public and must submit themselves to whatever scrutiny is appropriate to their office. Openness - holders of public office should be as open as possible about all the decisions and actions that they take. They should give reasons for their decisions and restrict information only when the wider public interest clearly demands. Honesty - holders of public office have a duty to declare any private interests relating to their public duties and take steps to resolve any conflicts arising in a way that protects the public interest. Leadership - holders of public office should promote and support these principles by leadership and example.

Glad to see the influence of the Nolan sisters has still not waned.
