Or we could all just vote for people that aren’t corrupt… or at least, yet!

If you don’t know who isn’t corrupt, vote for independents that understand technology. I know it’ll never happen so things will continue to go downhill but gees, what do governments have to do to get people to wake up? 🤬

Hell, i’ll be happy if people just stopped believing ‘for the sack of the children’ crap and realise its all about controlling the population! 🙄🤦‍♂️

Yea voting is great, but when was the last time the UK had a prime minister that anyone voted for?

We've had four unelected PMs in seven years. (Although TBF two of them did then won elections.)

The answer to your question is Boris Johnson, this time last year.

Audiences who flock to liars and deceivers seems to be trending in bad direction. Business leaders, politicians. What Cambridge Analytica unleashed as mass psychology tactics in 2014 may be very difficult to undo.

corrupt… or at least, yet!

Things like term limits seemed to help stop some of the problems of people corrupting once they got into positions of power. But now it seems crowds of more and more people are choosing pre-corrupted, cheering on corruption.
