Thoughts on corruption

Silvio Berlusconi has been accused of buying MPs before the forthcoming no confidence vote.

Most people will assume he is guilty, but for myself it has got me wondering whether surrendering your principles for money is worse than surrendering them for power.

In the UK Liberal Democrat MPs have been offered ministerial positions, that is to say jobs at the public expense, in return for their vote on the tuition fees bill.

At least Silvio uses his own money.
