You're right. And I've said it was inappropriate. But those kinds of gaffes are still going to happen, no matter what social sanctions we impose on transgressors. People are imperfect. Different workplaces also have different norms. Do you think waitresses and bartenders behave the same around their co-workers as insurance adjusters?
In the case of the MP, he's a politician, which means he likely feels the need to talk and banter non-stop. And it's a job where the lines between public and private are almost meaningless, since they spend almost all of their evenings at these kind of official social gatherings.
