Funny that those who claims possessing symmetric information is not aware of the deep fissure in social, economic and politics in the Western democratic countries for a long time running.
A minister/political appointee comes and goes, whether his resignation is related to the so-claimed affair/scandal/causes is something even the local folks may never known, much less for us outsiders. More often than not, it is for an expedient political reason rather than affair-related
And to believe the alibi offered by the main stream media for such resignation in this day and age is---to put a finer point on it---COURAGEOUS.
