With the formation of a government, the ways of a centralized government is supposed to be revolved around the importance of the people’s ideas and say in the government. But sometimes these demands and proper goals aren’t initiated by the government thus leading to great anarchy. Alexander Hamilton was able to completely deface the recognition of the human population by sending them in a great scandal. This scandal
In the case it helped Torricelli find this loophole with the lobbyist already being a former senator. Referred in the primary issue section this is where the government needs to place better controls on guarding these revolving door problems. • Political Action Committee (PAC): helped incorporate organizations contributions and channel those funds to candidates seeking political office like Torricelli did. They watched as all the organizations contributions which the contributors expect that their money will go for campaigning and not sit in an account for years to build someone’s personal business. This also tied in with the case because in the beginning Torricelli was accepting campaign gifts from a contributor which in the PAC is not permitted if the donation of corporate gifts is given to any political politician, it must come from individuals.
This was very unfair on the people and on the other people up for election, so this source doe’s hint at the fact a reform should take place, but this particular MP does not want a reform because he is benefitting without it. Saying this, some boroughs and counties were under-represented whereas some were over-represented. Source 2 on the other hand, is a speech made by a Tory MP, Sir Robert Inglis in Parliament. This man is clearly not interested in a reform and says how the parliament is a ‘complete representation of the interests of the people’. With this quote, we can question this over source 1.
If spending money gets you what you want then that’s what you must do. As Mark Hanna once said "there are two things that are important in politics. The first thing is money and I can’t remember what the second one is. Now I know that baseball and a political office are very different and they aren’t very even on a scale of importance. If it works in baseball then logic says that it works in other businesses also so the company that has the money to throw at a political figure that will intern get him his office; should most definitely do spend the money as a business investment.
In oder to prevent this separation of powers was brought into play with a set of checks and balances that prevented the legislative, executive, and judiciary each power over the other. An example of this would be if representatives in congress became corrupt saying that everyone must fore fit there money to them, this could not happen and be prevented because the executive branch can
The government should not be setting interest rates because they are too biased. The politicians are too focused on gaining votes in the public elections and therefore would only say what the people want and will win them votes rather than the actual policy which the Country needs. The Bank of England are a skilled workforce who can be trusted in this area because they understand how the Countries economic growth is moving, and although the government may understand the Countries economic growth they may take other things into account such as foreign influences or have unbalanced views due to the voting of the general elections. At the end of the day the Bank of England do not have to win any votes and are therefore much more impartial and will not be swayed to what the public want. However, it can be argued that the government would do the best for the Country whether they wanted to win votes or not because they do not want to undergo the threat of putting the Country in a downwards spiral.
Power can lead anyone to be selfish. This is why we have to keep them contained. Andrew Kohut in his research paper “The people and their Governments” states “Rather than an activist government to deal with the nation’s top problems, the public now wants government reformed and growing numbers want its power curtailed. With the exception of greater regulation of major financial institutions, there is less of an appetite for government solutions to the nation’s problems –
Not everybody has the money to hide from the world, so people just have to deal with whatever consequences they are faced with, however bad they must be. In the public eye, celebrities are made to look glamorous and clever, but these are just fake identities. What the public don’t see is who they really are. Drug dealers, alcoholics... all hidden by these super injunctions. When a super injunction is granted, newspapers cannot report any accusations against a person, nor are they allowed to inform the public that an injunction was requested.
In the era of post truth politics, voters are seriously misinformed, and will severely impede the accountability of governments. Supposedly, voters cast their vote based on facts and figures. For instance, GDP and unemployment can keep the voters informed about the economic performance of their country, but in post truth politics, a politician can just say the data is manipulated by their opponents (even if it is not), claiming that there is economic growth when there is actually a stagnation or vice versa. In such case, the voters are unable to monitor the government and the government will eventually hold little or no accountability because they can just tell a lie to shift the
Times have definitely changed and the way many people view politics have also changed. Now in days you most youth could care less about government or politics. There are many reasons why politics may not matter to most people and one of them is that in the eyes of the people politicians are viewed as liars. In the world we live in today many few people trust what comes out of the mouth of politicians. Many say that much of what politicians are saying is nothing but a piece of bait for voters to believe and vote for them so they can get elected to office.
