There are many corrupt people in the government, both elected politicians and unelected officials. Many are p#do***les, other launder money, some rig elections, while others surveil and harass innocent people.

To protect our Parliament, and Constitution, all these politicians and their families should come under public scrutiny. All their financial records, their communications, their online search histories, should be in the public domain.

In other words, we need parity of privacy between the State and its People.

This sounds hair-brained and extreme, but the public is already under intensive surveillance. I think experience needs to be felt by the officials as well so they finally begin to value the fundamental right to privacy.

        I didn’t say other forms don’t work.

        I’m just saying a government works very well other places and in smaller countries. Especially in the nordic Europe, where ironically has a bigger government than most countries, and are better off.

            At our current development, the solution is better government, NOT no government.

            Government can the done decent. It ain’t got to be a clone degenaracy

                Bro i am with you on that lesser of evil aint gonna do shit.

                I am voting third party as protest vote until i die or enough of us do it.

                coupled with direct action. that’s really all a peasant can do, it aint worth dying over it or suffering anymore then it is imposed up on you. like you said, boycott!

                hence why, voting with your money is more powerful then even voting third party. this one hurts owner class.

                we don’t hate choice on necessities but other thinks our opinion can be felt with a financial quarter and they have to listen :)

                  Same here, I support both of you, I’ve never voted and will never vote for a lesser evil kind of candidate. I imagine those who do so are fancy folks who live in first world nations and preach a biased take on democracy. They’ve never known an oppressive government masquerading as a democracy, people in my country literally canvass and vote for the same ppl who strip them of their rights. That’s on them, can never be me.
