Oh, I completely agree: violence is never acceptable against politicians. Well, Putin aside. But my fundamental point remains: politicians have lost all sense of shame. When you think back to the Profumo affair, or even Nixon, politicians used to resign when caught out. They were held to a high standard as representatives of the people. These days they won’t resign unless forced after weeks.
You’re replying to their comment about Australian politics compared to other countries to make a point about the shame of Australia politicians by using an example from British politics and another from US politics? Somehow I still can’t tell if this is a deliberate troll

Nope. I genuinely believe most major party (democratic?) politicians are about the same.
