Background
The seats of elected officials should not be sold off as if it were an auction. Politicians provide a public service that we fund and it needs to benefit all of us equally with minimal bias. We need real progress towards the long term goals of properly funding our NHS, ceasing poverty, solving the climate crisis and so much more. The government's submission to the ultra-wealthy and short-term profit generation has been left unchecked for far too long and has damaged our children's future.
