Did Anyone Believe Scandals Where Over?

The Japanese voted for a change of government this autumn, after many decades of having the same party at power. Being too close to power for too long time is never good. However, officials of the new governing party has now been involved in a scandal regarding election funds. Well, who would have thought there would be nothing wrong with the new government? I still believe it is a good thing for Japan that there was a change of power, but no people at power are flawless, new or old.
