Too many corrupt, dishonest politicians and people in power in this nation. Problem is, there could well be as many running the EU.
Question is, how do we change politics so that corruption is reduced or preferably eliminated?
Elect a Labour Gov, pretty simple
I can list the unreasonable put perfectly understandable reasons a lot of MPs and very wealthy people are so objectionable to Corbyn and why he constantly gets so much unsubstantiated bad press from media owned and run by billionaires or laden with close Tory allies like Cameron did with the BBC
1. He wants to make MPs honest, curb foreign donors, curb donations for votes, curb milking expenses and curb second jobs and jobs for votes most current MPs are neoliberal types who learned politics was 'a good gig' at Uni and are only in it for gravy train politics and removing all those things makes it no longer a good gig for them
2. He wants to make the billionaires pay their taxes, he wants to increase their taxes and crack down on and potentially jail all those dodging taxes using offshore accounts and companies using offshore headquarters to avoid paying tax
3. He wants to remove all privatisation from all our public services, 100's of billions of tax payers money is syphoned out of the system into the hands of billionaires who don't pay any tax on it every year
4. Rather than flog off our NHS to US private insurance firms and do a non mutually beneficial trade deal with US caving in on drugs prices to big US pharmas which will cost us an extra 25 bn a year (EU SMA costing us 13 bn a year) He wants to buy the rights to produce drugs with expired patents and produce them in the UK and sell them at a fraction of the cost the big US pharmas do and fully fund our NHS
These are all the real reasons opposition Mps, the media, the billionaires who have been running things for the last 40 yrs and even Mps in his own party who only signed up for 'gravy train politics' have a collective stance of ABC (anyone but Corbyn)
Bernie Sanders is running for US President and wants to do all the things in the US Corbyn wants to in the UK and he's constantly attacked for the same reasons, the only difference being, Bernie is Jewish, so when he rightly criticises Israeli Gov for actrocities against Palestinians they can't accuse him of being antisemitic, which it clearly isn't anyway and also there is a lot more free press in the US compared to the UK, media that will actually allow democracy to function and give people all the facts from both sides and let them make their own mind up, yes there's a few big players who are massively biased to the people in 1-4 because those people own them, but there is a lot more free press
