Indeed, our shameful system of governance is now so deeply flawed that despite extensive evidence of wrong doing, including: expense abuses; cash for honour scandals and Parliamentarians using their positions of influence for their own financial gain, Westminster continues to allow these same individuals to not only scrutinise their own deceitful behaviour but it actively prevents investigation by restricting access to information that may lead to wrong doing being uncovered:

All of which tells us that a culture of parasitic greed and self-interest is now so entrenched within Westminster and scrutiny so weak, there's now very little attempt to even pretend to be embarrassed any longer. Instead, it actually enables those on the make and on the take to continuously service their own blatant greed & even rewards some of the worst offenders with bling bling titles under the guise of public service!
To understand the real reasons why our economic & political systems are broken & why UK regulation & scrutiny is so weak, you only need to look at:
- The number of politicians who have accepted the corporate coin & all sorts of iffy sponsorship.
- The level of nepotism within political parties.
- The sheer scale of lobbying scandals & dodgy dealings between parliamentarians & big business; together with the grubby collusion & blatant attempts by political parties to stop this information being made public.
The swamp people refer to when they talk about establishment cover up & greed is narcissism & is the root cause of much of what is wrong within our systems of governance.
It's only when the scale of wrongdoing is viewed as having reached critical levels where it's impact is causing immense hardship & suffering to large & increasing numbers of the population will a tipping point be reached & action for real change be demanded. Until then the pretence, collusion & establishment indifference will continue but as some have pointed out, the warning signs are all around us.
