A government acting in the interest of the populace necessitates a change to the current political order. Status quo protection at all odds, a greater divide between rich and poor is the blueprint of both sides of parliament...Driven by ideological crap, captured by vested interest and in the case of Iranian Sam $1650 from a Chinese 'friend' it costs very little to capture parliament and most of them never saw a mirror they didn't instantly love...
Then again if elections ever really changed anything people would not be allowed to vote.
