There are people who would rather see the federal government maintain the status quo of corruption, lack of transparency, et cetera, for their own narrow partisan purposes at everyone's expense and, I would argue, at the expense of the nation state itself, not to overstate things.
Je parle de celles qui pourraient avoir des motifs cachés, peu importe leur allégeance. Il y en a qui préfèrent maintenir le statu quo au sein du gouvernement fédéral — c'est-à-dire la corruption, le manque de transparence, etc.
