    I kind of agree with you, about the controling aspects of the #FossilFuelLobby. On the other hand, if not for fossil fuel, there would be other lobbies seeking #StateCapture. It is in the #moneyedClass interest to excert as much influence as money can buy after all. Remember the Tabacco Lobbies of yore? Same thing. Today we can also point to the #GamblingIndustry and increasingly #DefenceIndustries.

    Unfortunately, with power comes #Greed and #Corruption and #TheRich like it that way. All we can do is stay one step behind our #Leaders ensuring we don’t fall too far back. And the only way to do that is through the ballot box, consistent activism and community-led campaigns (including petitions, protest sit-ins/marches and boycotts, etc.).

    I’m hopeful that consistent messaging by communities eventually cuts through to polies and that our govt (of whatever ilk) will eventually push back against #Zionism and its growing influence in everyday Australian social life because it is so egregious atm.

    Also more peeps ought to have a good long think about it all and take a moral and ethical stand vis a vis #Gaza, #WestBank #Lebanon, etc. not much help if peeps keep watching #FoxFakeNews and similar #Cronies IMO.

    In the grand scheme of things, we need to break up #Oligarchies , #Oligopolies and get serious about progressive #TaxReform.

  11. #Starmer's ''reforms' have taken the UK's #HouseOfLords from 85% appointed cronies to 96% appointed #cronies. He ejected the 92 #HereditaryPeers, but kept the 26 bishops and about 700 cronies.

    It's over a century since the Parliament Act 1911 promised the UK an elected upper house, but not "immediately". The number of elected members remains 0%. Zilch. Nada. Nothing.

    96% appointed cronies. And they call it "democracy".

  16. Depending on #Magyar ‘s government decision and legislative agenda, the participation of the #EU Prosecutor’s Office into the #Hungarian investigation of alleged #Corruption by the outgoing #Orban government may be enshrined into law. This could spell no end of trouble for Orban (whom is, I believe, is making himself scarce) and his #Cronies. tumultuous times for #Hungary

  21. #Starmer has just made the #HouseOfLords even worse.

    In 1958, the Lords was a set of #HereditaryPeers & bishops. On Tuesday, the House of Lords (Hereditary Peers) Bill passed, making the Lords a bunch only of #LifePeers & bishops. 68 years from a club of #inbreds to a club of #cronies & donors.

    The #ParliamentAct1911 promised an elected upper house, but it never arrived. 115 years later, the so-called "#LabourParty" leaves bishops as the only independent Lords. This is not #democracy.
