[QUOTE="helmut, post: 77591553, member: 206559"] In the good old days,a politician could decide to focus on the interest on his voters, and up to a certain point neglect the interest of his supporters without telling them. Then came the sunshine-laws (in the 1970s, AFAIK), and voters and supporters could get detailed informations about his real actions in politics. Those who could afford to hire an analyst (or whatsoever expert you need for that) could then confront him with every »wrong« step against their interests. On the other hand, most voters do not take any look on what »their« politician does in the commission or even in parliament, unless this can be seen on TV or read in the newspaper. So now the rich have full control over those who want some support from them in the next campaign (i.e. virtually every politician). [/QUOTE]
