Big money is damaging trust in our politics.

#UK #Government has announced a taskforce on mega-donations, but has not said what it will do and when.

A quotation from Molly Ivins

I don’t think there was ever a time when money was not important in politics. The single most striking development in American politics is the extent to which money is so predominant that everything else including the public interest is insignificant.

Molly Ivins (1944–2007) American writer, political columnist [Mary Tyler Ivins]
Interview (2006-10-09), “Who’s It Screw, and Who’s Doing the Screwing?” by Rosalind Alexander, Seattle Weekly

"In 2023, 60 per cent of Australians rejected a constitutionally recognised Voice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. A body that could only make representations, only on matters concerning the people whose ancestors have been here sixty thousand years.
"Too much, the No campaign shrieked. Division. Privilege. Special treatment.
"Nine months later, Anthony Albanese handed Jillian Segal what the Voice never dreamed of asking for. Not a right to be heard. Power. No election. No parliamentary vote. No hearing. A three year commission reporting personally to the Prime Minister, with a mandate reaching into every campus, newsroom, classroom, gallery, charity, arts contract and visa file in the Commonwealth."

As you know @eric, the US system was created as an improvement on the British system.

What function has a higher house of parliament?
1. A higher house of parliament recycles the social circles of executives.
2. A higher house of parliament lobbys the government.

#RFK. Jr. Has Unlikely Allies in His Drive to Limit #Atrazine
In Europe, #weedkiller atrazine has been banned for nearly two decades because of its suspected links to reproductive problems like reduced sperm quality and birth defects.
In the #UnitedStates, it remains one of the most widely used #pesticides, sprayed on #corn, #sugarcane and other #crops, result of years of industry #lobbying. It has been detected in #drinkingwater of 40M Americans.
