Kick at the Darkness

Politicians steal. It is not that they start out as bad people, but the big piles of money just lying around are usually too much to resist for too long. Therefore, when someone comes knocking on your door and says they his/her party will be the party of integrity if elected, call them on it. They won't be. No one is.

Ask them to change the system. Ask them to have parliamentary approval of senior gov't appointments. Ask them to put expense reports on the web. Ask them to have fixed election dates. Ask them to expose the government to the best disenfectant of all - sunlight.
