The EU parliament needs to get its act together. I work for a large company in the EU and we follow all the laws regarding non-retribution, transparency and creating a culture where bribery is not acceptable.

Otherwise , it's like every other business on earth : corruption of politicians goes back further than Roman times.
It will never change. As long as greed roams the earth , it will keep going on.

Not everyone swoons at the sight of a wad of cash, only, it seems, those who where born and raised to rule have this moral deficiency.

Society would arguably be better served with a random selection being forced into public servitude, than just handing those positions of power to those shouting the loudest.
Imagine how corrupt our legal system would be, if jurors where no longer appointed randomly?
