Having seen the scandals surrounding several PMs this year (former PM Blair who was extremely busy as can be read here, here and here, Cameron, Orban, etc.) I think the following little [fake] piece from a history textbook is interesting:
"Formerly, thieves guilds were institutions common to many European and other countries' communities. The thieves had to follow set quotas on what was seen as a reasonable amount to steal, and even paid taxes to local councils and lords in some cases. In later ages, these institutions specialized mostly towards politics and became what is known nowadays as 'parties'."
