It almost seems like one of them (the one who wasn't married?) wanted to get caught.

This is the problem with democracy.

If David Beckham had stood in 2002, not so much now, he'd have been elected, no problem. He's a brand.

It's like a fat, ginger guy from a popular TV programme being elected US president...

The LDP strikes again.

I have lost count of the number of scandals this year alone.

Gosh, people can be very tolerant.

And yet people still vote for the LDP, or vote for people because they are/were celebrities, or even because they are the off spring of a celebrity or politician. Utter madness.
