The election of George Galloway? After a terrible week for all parties, this collapse in trust between voters and MPs should terrify us all.
George Galloway is the sort of politician who gives mavericks, exhibitionists and charlatans a bad name. In his years as a Labour and later independent MP, he was seldom out of trouble about women, money and the means by which he got his hands on it, or his support for off-the-wall causes and personalities, Iraq’s Saddam Hussein foremost among them.
