Yes, there are some decent politicians still around. In Iceland right now several government Ministers have kicked up a fuss at the EU offering its "accession funding" worth up to €30 million.
This is basically cash given to those countries it wants to join the EU in the near future. The money is meant to be spent on "preparing" a country for EU membership but in reality, and as these Icelandic Ministers have pointed out, it usually goes into pro-EU propaganda to win over public opinion.
Times are hard around the world but we should never forget that there are still some decent souls out there who put principles before the ability to spend lots of taxpayer's cash.
