If you aren't they you need to get support from certain people. Then when you get elected you have to pay back these certain people. Regardless of how wrong their asks may be you need to entertain them. That is how everything gets interconnected. So end of the day it is very difficult to find politicians who don't have strings attached to them. Either a person or a group of people control them. The pressure can be excreted on them in different forms.simple example of strings attached - Whos is campaigning to bring Basil to parliament? the back benches right? why is that? Because he is the one who brought them to parliament and probably funding them or funding the people who funded them. So do you think they will have a backbone to oppose it?</blockquote>
