Not true. Andy Burnham did have political power but as the Mayor of Greater Manchester. And he did get votes, votes from the people of Makersfield.

In terms of corruption, not really happened. Don't know what you mean by selling their spots.

If you want hilarious, go read about Alex Douglas-Home. He became PM despite not being in the House of Commons back in the 60s.

he was put as a mp on June 19th and moved to a PM on the 22nd. That sure seems like corruption to me. As an American it makes me proud that we fought against that type of system and arent apart of it. He probably got he position because he helped setup those grooming gangs.

Thats one of the dumbest government systems in the world in my opinion. Installed leaders like that are deplorable in this century. Maybe in the 1400s would that type of stuff be acceptable.

But its not my country so all I can do is be glad I am not apart of a system like that and feel sorry for those who live under a system that is that bad.

I mean, what happens in America if the President resigns? You get a new one without an election. If necessary, the party in power could assign a new arbitrary VP right beforehand and accomplish the same thing.

Burnham becoming a MP isn't some internal decision either, he did have to win a very contested election for that. Obviously it was with the intention of becoming PM, but that isn't corrupt.
