Sorry to break this to you. Everyone on this forum including you, me and jfman: We're all biased.
I'm inclined to think someone being elected to two public offices as less of a conflict of interest than Owen Paterson, Geoffrey Cox, IDS in the pockets of corporations and tax havens. Then having the gall to claim they can't live on £81k while cutting benefits and raising taxes.
