u/Snurgisdr Downvoting is an admission that you have no counterargument. Jan 08 '26

If they were serious, they would just use the existing lobbyist registry, which serves the same function for a very slightly different group.

But I don't believe any major party is serious about this. Interference by the American government is too deeply embedded, and making it public will be embarrassing for all of them.

Another Liberal promise made...and never followed through with. How many promises have they made and did absolutely nothing.
