The expenses scandal tarnished those at the very heart of British
democracy. Some politicians in the so-called Mother of
Parliaments were shown to be greedy and a few criminal.

A handful went to jail and one of those is the former
Conservative peer and former leader of Essex County Council Lord
Hanningfield.

So why did he do it? Is there something fundamentally wrong with
Britain's political culture and with those who go into politics?
And what lessons can a lawmaker learn from prison?
