The greatest ability of democracies is error correction. Politicians lied in the election campaign? Vote for someone else next time. All current politicians lie? Be a politician. That's not easy, but it is possible. I stand by my assertion: We get the government we deserve. |

The point of a system that has large financial and societal pressure at the top to conform to the wishes of specific lobbying interests is that the pressure is so large you either stop being a politician or do what they say. There is no middle ground.
