A great example of how this class operates. Our foreign minister from the Labour party had to step down due to suspicions of providing her husband with inside information on government contracts to public traded companies. The husband bought stocks and they made some cash.

The reward for this corruption is a new position as our ambassador to the US. She officially got the job two days ago.

We have seen this upper class of politicians never having to stand responsible for their actions for some years now. On both sides.

There's no wonder people get desperate. The only solution they get provided is using their vote. And when they do use it they get called out for using it the "wrong" way.

Either the current politicians fix their shit, or the people will topple them. It's fairly predictable.
