Politicians really shouldn't be allowed to have side gigs or passive income.
@kkarhan Outside of bribes, I think it's messed up that so many of them make money on owning land or stock trading. It's a perverse conflict of interest and can only lead to abuse of power.
@mauve obviously...
I mean, #wirecard was left off the hook way too long because a lot of @BaFin staff gambled with said #StockPrices...
They were #fired once the shit hit the fan, but generally the #ConflictOfInterest should not be allowed to begin with!
@mauve Eeyupp...
If a civil servant like a #firefighter isn't allowed to accept any gifts then a #politican shouldn't either!
