@kauer @timrichards It's not because they are dodderers. It's because the longer people have to accumulate power the harder it is to pry it from their greedy selfish hands. Old people with power favour their mates and cronies who, guess what, are also old and rich. So power and money become more and more concentrated among people who formed their world view in very different times and have no desire to change anything.

@kauer @timrichards Also, if we want people to value democracy, parliament should be a mirror of the population as a whole. Not an assembly of grandparents.
