Scottish parliament to stamp out sleaze we hope

Labour in London have not ended sleaze.. Blairs rigged selection criteria for Scottish MSPs (members of Scottish parliament) and his parties involvement with Tobacco money and his continued extortion of slush money from Trades Union members make his party guily of sleaze as charged.

Now a new report in front of the Edinburgh parliament intends to stop this nasty Westminster habit. It says
"We recommend that the Scottish parliament should adopt a rule which would prohibit any member in return for any remuneration, fee, payment or reward or benefit in kind, direct or indirect, which the member, spouse, partner or close family member has received, is receiving or expects to receive from advocating or initiating any cause or matter on behalf of an outside body or individual or urging another MSP to do so."
