A politician is not supposed to have vested interests, they all do but they are not supposed too, they are supposed to rather be dedicated to the job that they have entered politics to fulfill.
But it's your country and if you want corporations to own you well too late they already do.
Any attempt to free you from that control is going to be called communist by them or worse because after all they own the capitalist system don't they and that is there religion with themselves as it's god's.

Kind of a slippery slope though, eh?
Technically, if fossil fuel executives are harming the earth, we all are.
It is time for a new constitution and this applies to every nation on Earth.
Then we'd start having politicians who wish to serve their country... not have it serve them.

If we get rid of the lobbyist system we might actually have
legislators instead of politicians.

If we all just quit using plastic, going to the hospital for surgery, driving cars, living in houses and using electricity then these evil fossil fuel executives would be out of a job!
asterisks added by me to not violate t and c but wow the specs arent bad but this is quite possibly the ugliest green tech vehicle since those little cars that looked like well male anatomy
The CEO said the truck uses a "monoplane" design with a body made from "think ultra-hard stainless steel," calling to mind the DeLorean DMC-12. Tesla design head Franz vol Holzhausesn even hit the Cybertruck on stage with a sledgehammer to demonstrate the body's strength. "You want a truck that's really tough. Not fake tough," Musk said. And the he claimed it was bulletproof to a 9mm handgun. Von Holzhausen then threw a metal ball at the window to show the strength of the window. The glass broke, to which Musk said "oh my f**king god."
specs for those that are curious but seriously look at this thing its hideous
Musk said the truck will have adaptive air suspension and adaptive dampers as standard with adjustable ride height. He says it'll offer a maximum of 16 inches of ground clearance, a 35-degree approach angle and a 28-degree departure angle. The bed is 6.5-feet long, and the truck has a payload capacity of up to 3500 pounds and a tow capacity is 14,000 pounds. Performance claims are ridiculous too. Zero to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds, and a 10.8-second quarter mile time. Musk claims over 500 miles of range, though 250-plus and 300-plus mile versions will also be offered. It'll be capable of 250kW fast charging too.
