    Just more declaratory politics pretending to do something about the creeping corruption of our democracy but actually doing little to stop the political class sucking on the corporate tit (as it were).

    Another policy area where the Greens are more robust than the mainstream!

      @ChrisMayLA6 Politicians that do not deliver for citizens likely have no other option than to start sucking up. The question then is: to whom, and why would it be called 'up', instead of ' selling out'.

        @ChrisMayLA6 In Germany a lot of politicians are then puzzled about the increasing "Politikverdrossenheit"

          @ChrisMayLA6

          Labour's problem is that having ditched Corbyn's mass-membership funding model - actually passing much of that membership and fund-raising income over to the Green Party - and also losing input from the wider labour movement - Labour has nowhere to go other than big business.
