Memes that diss best guy Frodo are not cool.
I try to talk to my mates about this and they all basically say: they will never give up their giant cars and we should just build parking next I train stations for those who can’t afford to drive everywhere.
It’s not their lives at risk (in the car) and they are good drivers. It’s the others that need to lose their cars/license.
I am not saying it is guaranteed that it would descend into corruption, but surely you can see how a body with the singular power to investigate and judge the only people who can constrain it would be ripe for abuse?
Since they report to a standing committee made up of MPs, giving them the unilateral power to investigate and judge those same MPs gives them a good deal of power.
Alternatively, if those MPs are somehow “immune” to prevent this, then it gives THOSE MPs an outsized bit of power in government.
The biggest danger is if the corruption is used subtly since we wouldn’t even notice; it would even look like they are “rooting out corruption”
And yet today my landlord has told me that they are raising my rent 20%
Started new job, work from home so great; training from home not so much.
