Are the Tories ever fit for office?

This image was of the Guardian website this morning:

The message is clear, as is the juxtaposition: this is a government incapacitated by allegations of tax abuse, abuse and unethical conduct.

I know a great many deeply ethical people. A few of them are politicians. The question is, why does the Venn diagram that contains the overlap between these two groups so small? And why is it that the Tories have such a problem with this?

Could it be that believing that the pursuit of personal wealth is the ultimate objective in life and the pursuit of power over others through securing political power are aims that are incompatible if the objective is transparent, open, accountable and honest government? Are the Tories ever fit for office as a result of a basic flaw in their ethos, in other words?
