    Why opposed? The fact that government and agencies control is creeping in western world is scary as well.

      Yes, but who’s pushing for this control? I agree that both are terrible. I’d love to see all upper levels of politics become limited terms, without the option to just jump from one to the other. Once you’ve spent some time, 2 terms maybe, in a position of high political influence (national level, local councils are a different beast), you’re out of national politics entirely. Get rid of the career politician, and hunt down the ones that take “gifts” from corporate interests ruthlessly.

      Creeping in? The west was designed from the start to have corporate control over the public using its ‘government.’ The royals never lost controls, who do you think funded literally all major companies as capitalism developed?
