> It's not inherently corrupt for a representative to vote in a way that's not a perfect representation of their constituents' opinion polling. That's not what we're discussing. Up-thread, I responded to: "...paid-off politicians who act on behalf of a few oligarchs to block popular policy changes". That behavior, if it is happening, is what I'm claiming is corruption, even that kind of behaviour is the norm nowadays, and voters don't vote this kind of corruption out, or even call it out as corruption. > There's no allegation that the Governor has been bribed... Correct. The allegation is as I quoted above. It is not my allegation; I'm merely discussing appropriate voting behaviour if it were true.
