170,000 people now hold security clearances
From Gardner's to Maintenance People to cooks
To obtain a security clearance is a long drawn-out affair with a lot digging into peoples background (all understandable if working with sensitive material or sites)
So then why aren't our politicians put through this same process
I would like to see everyone running for Public office go through this process.
Wonder how many current sitting would pass and wouldn't it be a nice way to cleanup some of the garbage in Politic's
I for one wouldn't mind a small increase in tax to pay for it
Give me somewhere to make a donation could call it "LET's Check out the lying pollies" Might even make for a new reality TV show.
After doing what checking I could (not much is available) Some Parties do a bit of a quick check into member's background (SOME)
