In Britain, a former far-right Reform party politician has been convicted of taking bribes to promote Russian viewpoints.
Another scandal that should be the end of Reform but will be ignored unless we make a lot of noise about it.

Unfortunately, the European Union shows how hard this is in practice - but both institutions need to move away from vetos and to where power is conditional on respect for its core values.
President Stubb on the UN:
No single state should have a veto power.If a member of the Security Council violates the UN Charter,its voting rights should be suspended.I believe that these changes at the top of the UN are necessary in order to maintain the UN's central role in international relations
