much of the busy agenda was taken up by proposed climate rollbacks, including the replacement of the 2035 combustion-engine phase-out with weaker CO2 standards for new cars and weakening its carbon-pricing system for industries and power production.

Europe’s own electrification path has been slow compared to some other large economies, rising only about five percent since 1990. During this time, China went from six percent to almost 30 percent

    I would also include aggressive financial oversight, constant supervision of all financials, assets and so forth. Possibly even mandatory external management for the duration of their term.

    Officials and their families should not be able to privately invest at all while they are holding office. Seems inconvenient for them, but anyone going into politics hoping to do some insider trading should get the fuck out anyway.

      All good points… but it will never happen… Money can buy everyone, every decision maker in the line can be bought and influenced.

      You need some rules like: If you’re caught accepting money of any kind except your salary, you go in jail for 1 year or something. Without exception or early release.

      With that some probably would think twice before going corrupt.
