Why would my government care less about me than a multinational corporation with billions of customers that isn't headquartered or listed where I live?
My Member of Parliament represents about 130,000 people, does regular door knocking to talk to people, and has a staffed office a few km away the I can walk into anytime I want.
None of that applies to a multinational corporation.
You're lucky and this is not a representative of the politicians at all.
In my Parliament MPs seem to represent primarily the interests of their donors, not those of their country, not even constituents.
It still better than it used to be, the corr...., er lobbying is not as blatant, but its still obvious.
Seeing the MP? Yeah. Maybe if someone lives in the "unsafe seat" area and the MP is trying to get reelected:)
