The problem is more that some of the politicians should go to jail, but don't.

Hmm. Perhaps the line can be drawn a little closer to the truth, but i'm happy with the bias toward false negatives over false positives.

In death penalty cases, when you'd expect the justice system to work its absolute best, 5% were overturned when DNA evidence became reliable. 1 in 20 on they way to die because of false positives.

Cynic in me would say that if we jailed all top-tier politicians, we'd have less than 5% false positives. I honestly don't believe that in an established democracy (as opposed to freshly formed) you can get to the level of a minister or above without doing something illegal or immoral. The dynamics of the system clearly shows that.

"illegal or immoral"

You can't be prosecuted for just the latter.

Yeah... the thing is, some of us have had a higher standard than that for generations and are now being sucked into the abyss of corruption under the flag of the EU.

FUD. Worse in fact - xenophobic FUD.

Sounds like the parent if from an EU country... so the comment cannot be considered xenophobic.

Perception and reality often differ. Xenophobia has nothing to do with reality, but instead perceived notions of otherness.
