The current sleaze scandal is potentially very, very damaging indeed for the government, because the real serious allegations are not now about individual MPs [members of Parliament] -- they're about the conduct of the government...

I think there is still quite a level of public anger with the government over this scandal,

he fought hard against corruption in all forms, especially with the Canal Ring (every scandal during this time seems to have the word "ring" attached to it, much like every scandal since Watergate has "gate" attached to it.)

The purpose of the 'Way Forward Group' is simply to do, in a formal way, what the royal family in Britain has always done.

If you look at almost any prominent political thinking intellectual these days, they have all moved through at least three positions in the last three years. Everything is in transition since the end of what some people call the short 20th century.

Beijing should authorize a full and impartial investigation into the involvement of local authorities in the blood scandal and hold those responsible accountable.
