"Democracy is not advanced through the actions of politicians. Politicians have only two interests - self-interest and vested interest, the public is not counted as either of these. The public is a bloody nuisance. The only time politicians take an interest in the public, have any contact with the public, is at election time. This is not because politicians have suddenly become interested in the public—the interest is still, me, me me—but they now need the help of the public to get re-elected, to keep their snouts in the trough; the public is soon to be forgotten until the next election.

Left to their own devices, politicians will always act against democracy and the public interest. "
