Oh...sorry...that was the headline from Fantasyland, where ethics and duty rule the Senate's actions, instead of cash...

In the UK, MPs would certainly be *supposed* to act according to such a rule, though whether they'd always do so would be another matter.
Anyone with an obvious financial interest on one side would be excluded from serving on a jury, so it's sad that there are not such strict rules for legislators.
