There is much decided in politics that I believe can be determined through reason. I don’t discount what you’re saying, but a lot of the work of the public political sector involves not just bringing attention to problems but also selling a solution. Corruption doesn’t always seem to lie in the identification of problems (although it could). The interface with the private sector is where I believe the government often fails to meet ethical standards. The experts in the telecom industry work for the telecom industry, for instance. If I believe a bill they wrote will cause harm to the public, there is no one within the benefitting industry that will argue on my behalf, except for myself.
