This is always a question in the mind of our citizens, especially when it comes to voting. I cannot help saying that the result is a big disappointment, it keeps failing its people and responsibility laid on them is completely put on one side. Successive political parties keep promising on electioneering time what they are going to do if elected knowing only too well that it will not be done in real time.
I never had any doubt in their good intentions, but actions speak louder than words. Today we see World wide protest of discontent, the citizens manifest their feelings, they are not happy with their share, the news is clear, stop telling the people “we together will override the problems” It is not We, it is you, –the people have to put up with Government’s and Parliament’s mismanagement.
The information we read, hear and feel is that quote “[In] America, [there is] the most tightly regulated [lobbying] in the world, and by my estimation it’s the most corrupt,” ES London. This is in relation to the corporate and or industry lobbying that is practically the entire machinery of government. The lobbying industry is worth an amazing £2 billion in the UK and growing, in the last Conservative party conference there were 7,000 lobbyists and only 4,000 delegates [ES London].
This is what we are permited to be seen, imagine what size the iceberg would be.
If this is not enough to scare anyone on the state of the western governments and democracy all you have to do is to see how people complain on the G20.
I am afraid for our EU situation in respect to this lobbying and the consequence to the citizens of Europe. I am to understand it does exist, to what magnitude I would like to know.
Is lobbying necessary?
