| Abstract: | Most liberal democracies, especially countries in the commonwealth with British traditions, are proud of their high standards in public life. Their systems of government have been developed with considerable care. Citizens in general have high expectations of their politicians and officials, and their expectations have usually been met. The occasional cause celebre has had a salutory educational affect in terms of drawing attention to dangers to be avoided, often in leading to the introduction of new procedures or safeguards, and also a contributory factor in the education of citizens about their systems of government, through focusing attention on what standards to expect and what to condemn. |
