  Good. This is how FUNCTIONING governing body works… if part of it become rotten, it gets cut off and prosecuted according to laws. The fact that so many of the MEPs took bribes - bad… the fact that they are going to be prosecuted - good.
context: Tired of scandals ending with “gate.” I used to play a video game called Shadowgate, and it wasn’t about a groundhog taking bribes. >
  
  The Watergate was the name of the hotel Nixon's goons broke into. Affixing the word "gate" as a suffix is understood to mean a scandal because languages change over time.
  This particular change happened because people are stupid as stumps and care more about the perception of a scandal than the reason it is scandalous.
