But a lot of people in government, even among the EC consists of what is effectively lifers. I don't think citing "outsiders" as the culprit is accurate.

The person who introduced CSAR most recently has been in high government positions for decades, I believe the previous iteration was as well.

Average tenure in the US senate is pretty close to the 2 term limit combined at 12 years, US house of representatives is also a bit over 4 terms combined at 8 years. Junior politicians are definitely not proposing their own legislation, especially with the existence of party whips and similar roles that exist across the world.

If its dejection, OK I can understand that. If it's seeking an outsider, yeah that's likely among the population. Authoritarian demagogues, well you're just labeling politicians what they are inherently, so no push back from me.

But combined together I can't accept. The people doing things like this are people who are familiar to us.
