'"...The enormous majority of M.P.s go into politics for what they can get out of them - legal jobs, office, local honour and glory - and it gets worse every time another poor man is elected. They can't afford to wait, these poor men; therefore they can hold no independent view; therefore they'll accept any dam', dirty, dishonest, shift their leaders may suggest. And so public life gets more sordid every day."'
from Sonia by Stephen McKenna (Chapter III, Part I)
