Policy by Screw-up?

At the same press conference attended by Jon Snow and in the same subject over the funding scandal, the resignation (why not sacking?) of Peter Watts over the David Abrahams donations, I saw the Daily Mirror hack ask if this underhand and likely illegal behaviour is justification for enforced public State funding of Political Parties.

Are we now seeing a series of dramatic failures being used to entrench the problems? This is a manifestation of both the "I screwed up so I am best placed to fix it" meme that has been wormed into popular consciousness during this government and the "intentionally break to 'fix' it" idea so beloved of Socialists. Bastards.


UPDATE: How come the Labour Party wants to return the £400,000, yet UKIP's admin blunder, innocent in comparison, was set to have the donation snaffled by the State. One Rule for the Corrupt Leaders, in their Halls of Shame...
