Bless this mess

Samara has released its fourth report on the lives of MPs, including proposals for reform from those parliamentarians: reduce the power of political parties, fix Question Period, better train incoming MPs and so forth.

Samara has also launched a Democracy Index which will track the state of ours on an annual basis.
