I particularly agree with this. While I worked for the Tories I met lots of people who'd worked for John Major, Cameron, Heseltine, Maggie... and anyone who ever works for a cabinet member gets a gong, it seems. It's ridiculous. Type a bunch of letters, do a bit of admin, get well-paid and great perks... and get an MBE thrown in!
