To be honest I think most politicians are duplicitous bastards or get turned into one after high ideals have been knocked out of them by colleagues whether they are in Westminster, Brussels or Washington.
We at least have the ability to vote on the Buggers in Westminster and had some say in which bastards to represent us in the EU. We have no say with Washington despite some people still believing in a special relationship which if it ever really existed outside of our armed forces happening to be shooting at the same targets for a while never really applied to commercial business unless it favoured the US interests first.
