As a non-brit, one of the most hilarious - or sad - thing is how easy British political elites can get away with breaching rules.

In France, there is now an independent agency, the high authority for ethics and transparency (HATPV) in charge of ensuring politicians respect ethics rules. And if they breach rules, they can face very heavy fines and even jail. HATPV isn’t joking. They have prosecuted dozens of politicians.

In Britain, you have toothless watchdogs that say “The honorable gentleman did not act honorably”*

What a load of horseshit.
