Is it possible, just possible…

That whoever we elect into power comes from exactly the same private club every time?
I mean politicians just toe the line with whoever finances their election campaigns - these could be the same people irrespective of the political party, so it’s a win win for them.

Every single democracy should enact laws to prevent donations to political parties, and remove all loopholes, to prevent someone like Musk from using non-monetary assets to affect elections.

I would sure love to see a system in the USA, where the state provides an equal sum of money to each candidate to campaign as the see fit, and that's it.

@Northwest It does make me wonder where the money REALLY comes from.
It seems to me that the only real winners under any political party are the rich and powerful. Most of them hardly pay any tax either due to various loopholes put in place for them. That’s why the British and American Virgin Islands exist after all.
