Errmmm This was a boss having sex with a staff member, in the private sector, many have been removed for less. Golden rule now days, Bosses don't have sex with direct employees...
Also he stood in the by election portraying himself as a family man with his wife and family, (was his mistress pregnant then?) and during the SSM poll, as a defender of the traditional form marriage.
Independent of any public money issues, if these facts had been available during the New England by election, would the voters have voted the way that they did? Would Tony Windsor have stood? Would he have won?
Think of this, would anyone have cared if he had divorced his wife, then after some time said he had a new partner, then after a time she got pregnant?....Probably not.... Personal issues are personal issues, but this surely was a display of his true character, people can then make their own judgements base on the information available.
I feel sorry for everyone involved, but this was his own doing, he had choices all along teh way, he made decisions, he is responsible for them.
