The Old Corruption

The recent scandal over MPs’ expenses would not have raised an eyebrow in the 18th century when bribery was rife and rigged elections common. Trevor Fisher looks into that system and the slow path to reform. ‘Soliciting Votes’, William Hogarth c. 1754. Wiki Commons/Soane Museum. The current controversy over parliamentary expenses raised questions about MPs’ corruptibility, with one political journal asking: ‘Is this the most corrupt parliament ever?’ It is an unhistorical question. Compared with the 18th century, the current parliament would hardly qualify as corrupt at all. //  Дальше — www.historytoday.com

‘Old Corruption’ referred to the system of highly paid government offices, pensions, sinecure positions, and income streams secured by members of the British aristocracy and upper classes during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The phenomenon was an all-pervasive feature of British upper class life in this period. The term was famously used by William Cobbett (1763- 1835), the radical reformer and enemy of the British aristocracy (Rubinstein 1983, Harling 1995)[1][2]. Probably the most important characteristic of ‘Old Corruption’ was that it was a parasitical but entirely legal system. Despite its name, it was not comparable to what is traditionally regarded as ‘corruption’ today: illegal or at the very least unethical abuses of office such as bribery, embezzlement, fraud.

 

Furthermore, according to Wade, two of Bathurst’s relatives received ?6400 per year (over ?700,000 today) from three other offices they held. If any of these posts actually required work to fulfil their duties, this was done by clerks who were paid a tiny fraction of what Lord Bathurst received.
