Seems weird to kick out a politician for being corrupt. That would mean at least two thirds should be gone. Certainly everybody in NACT for sure.
While I get what you are trying to say.
There is a big difference between suspected corruption and proven corruption.
There are serious conversations to be had about the "legitimate" forms of corruption such as political donations etc...
Wasn't it proven corruption when John Key appointed one of his buddies to a high paying position and made a backroom deal with Sky and Warner and then got a job with a Chinese bank?
Not sure, but if it was proven and we did nothing about it, what message does that send to others that want to use their position to gain advantage.
