My wider point was contradicting Arista's assertion that corruption was the sole possession of the labour party. Whereas it isn't, it becomes rife in all political parties, the longer they maintain power.

Can't disagree on that one. Power corrupts, and all that.

I've visited many parts of the world to offer a pair of hands to work and help in the construction of village infrastructure.

I also chip in to a Pizza fund for the occupy movement.

My conscience is clear. I don't stand atop a mountain, looking down at poor people and sneer at them for not getting off their lazy arses. I involve myself in the things I'm passionate about.

Sounds a bit "liberal" to me .....

It smells a bit laissez-faire in here...
