Letter: Your views on how to reboot democracy (3)

Published 30 October 2024

From William Hughes-Games, Waipara, New Zealand

There is no need for digital technology to create true democracy for the people, by the people. Money corrupts politics. Make it illegal for vested interests to give money or anything that costs money to politicians before, during or after a term in office and watch those whose only interest is to enrich themselves run for the hills. A responsible, public-spirited group will take their place and politics will repair itself.
