Lol, "don't worry, the people who have all the power will spontaneously give up that power to allow us to regulate them."
No the politicians we elect do that part. Who else?
Really? They sure don't seem to be.
there are much better regulations for media, elections, political donations, taxes in the EU so clearly the politicians there have been busy.
why not everywhere else?
they could do with tackling tax havens but one step at a time
All of those regulation are being stripped away in Europe too, at an increasing rate. They only existed in the first place as a result of labour militancy in the pre-neoliberal era, and they started being eroded the moment that was fully crushed.
The people who control legislation don't answer to you, and the people they do answer to don't want them 'tackling tax havens' or any of the other regulations you do.
