Oliver Cromwell on dissolving Parliament in 1653:


'Ii is high time for me to put an end to you sitting in this place,which you have dishonoured by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice....is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there no vice you do not possess?...Gold is your God; which of you have not barter'd your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?'



I wonder if our Parliamentarians fit the bill today
