But these politicians are having severe issues with work. Sure, you can do good work and then go home and beat your wife, but that is fundamentally different.

But these politicians are having severe issues with work. Sure, you can do good work and then go home and beat your wife, but that is fundamentally different. Here you might have to work together with people who you see as either rapist or who allegedly see you as future victims. This has to have an impact. Imagine being asked to work together with someone you believe might wanting to rape you. Can you have a one on one meeting with him? Would you even be willing to have a phone call with him? Even if you can, can you actually still help effectively govern millions of people?

If you can't, then the option of resignation is open. There is also the option to make public accusations. The whole matter cannot be resolved in any way other than victims taking action to oust predators - which doesn't happen for many reasons, which is why these problems never go away.

  >The whole matter cannot be resolved in any way other than victims taking action to oust predators Sure it can. It means dismissing all MPs and everyone potentially implicated from politics. >which doesn't happen for many reasons Which doesn't happen for personal reasons. Clearly the women in question prefer to risk a small chance of sexual violence over potential career implications. For their personal consideration it is clearly the right choice, avoid the people in question and almost certainly you will be fine. But what is missing here is that these people hold very significant amounts of power and responsibility. Without a doubt their duty as politicians is first and foremost towards a functional government.
