Agreed. We all need to keep in mind the fact that no matter which party you root for every single one of the political class is corrupt. Politics is non-theistic religion at this point.

I'd even say it's a bit more complicated than that: corruption is in the eye of the beholder in a lot of cases.

Some cases are clear; some are not. Pork barrel spending, for example.
