Hardly a great shock, he is a politician after all and it sure isn't limited to the socialist parties is it.
"Jeffrey Howard Archer, Baron Archer of Weston-super-Mare (born 15 April 1940) is an English author and former politician.
Alongside his literary work, Archer was a Member of Parliament (1969–74), deputy chairman of the Conservative Party (1985–86) and was made a life peer in 1992. Having suffered several controversies, his political career ended with his conviction and subsequent imprisonment (2001–03) for perjury and perverting the course of justice. "
If Guilty he will just be another in a long line of corrupt politicians, not least in the list are many Right Wing conservative politicians, and lets not forget the other scandals of members of that great party that upholds traditional values and morals, normally while carrying on as the upper classes often do, with double standards and one rule for them and another for the masses.
By the way, my view may not be valid as I class myself as a socialist, but also a realist and certainly do not lean to the hard left despite having been both shop steward & official picket in my time.
