Most Scandalous Government Ever?

As a Labour supporter it could be expected that i would say that this has been the Worst Government in history but as bad as things were under David Cameron and Theresa May, they have gone up a whole level since 2019 under the short lived tenure of Liz Truss and then Boris Johnson and now Rishi Sunak. 
Since Boris Johnson won the election that cold December morning in 2019, he has been found guilty of committing a criminal offence while at Number 10 catapulted out of the Commons after being found guilty of serially lying to parliament Deputy prime minister, Dominic Raab, was removed for bullying, Party chair  Nadhim Zahawi sacked for tax evasion, Home Secretary Suella Braverman forced to quit because she committed a security breach and Gavin Williamson ejected from the cabinet the first time for leaking National Security Council meetings, then sacked again for being woefully inadequate as Education Secretary and then forced to quit a third time for bullying and then Health Secretary Matt Hancock resigned from government after breaking his own Coronavirus rules in an affair with an aide.
Junior ministers and backbenchers who have resigned their seats in disgrace include Owen Paterson for a lobbying scandal, Neil Parish who quit as an MP after watching porn in the Commons and Imran Ahmad Khan resigned from parliament after he was sentenced to 18 months in jail for sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy.
Julian Knight had the Conservative whip withdrawn after an allegation of sexual assault, Rob Roberts is under investigation for sending lewd texts to a 21-year-old intern, David Warburton had the whip withdrawn following allegations of harassing three women and snorting cocaine and Chris Pincher resigned after groping two men at a club.
One unnamed Conservative MP was arrested on suspicion of rape and sexual assault has been told to stay away from parliament amid an ongoing investigation but there have always been scandals with sexual predators, liars, crooks and bullies  in previous eras but not this many so there is something rotten in our Government or the election process which the Conservatives use to send these dreadful people to Parliament.
