All the parties took part in that greed. The Tories were 2nd home flipping,duck-house buying, moat-cleaning abusers of the system as well. Saying we're so greedy we can't help ourselves so the those in charge need to stop us is hardly confidence inspiring. The Tories could not reform the system but they could elect to avoid the corruption themselves, which they didn't.
Replacing the corrupt sheriff with one of the corrupt inmates is not a exactly a victory is it.

I believe a Lib Dem/Con government has a chance, but a Lib Dem/Labour will be a short government before another election.
