This is not about whether the United States would misuse that access — it is about the structural error of building a system that allows it. Sovereignty built on trust is not sovereignty at all.

hmm, i get that. I suppose a local MP is only a single voice. Even for someone like that it would've been like standing against a tidal wave. Hopefully since COVID, and now the shaky geopolitical scene more people are taking decisions impacting sovereign risk more carefully. Or its pie in the sky, and our establishment is too far ingrained to theirs, with more impactful highlighting of the issue being required if any real policy were to be changed.
