But even the parallel doesn't help your cause, because if a politician is compromised it's well within part of the electorates right to know, and probably should be used to turf them. They need to make hard decisions for the best of everyone. Being beholden to anyone, especially criminals, prevents that.

The electorate has the right to turf him at the next available election if they feel they have been comprimised but you cant say a person might have been comprimised therefore they have to resign. Its too speculative, you also dont address the Bosclaire situation. He was actually elected leader of the PQ after admitting his cocaine use while being a sitting member of the legislature.
