In summary, how do we achieve more openness and transparency and how do we strengthen Parliament against bureaucrats and the Executive? It seems that the power has devolved to the bureaucrats and the Executive and they use it to spend more money than a country can afford. Most OECD countries, not only this one, have dramatically increased their debt-to-GDP ratio. Can stricter control of all of this save countries from going broke?
