      First you’d need to ban money from politics and change the voting system to better represent the people living there instead of wealthy elites, but that would just be the start.

      Whenever wealthy elites have even a tiny bit of power (as they do in any capitalist system, including social democracies like what the Nordic countries have), they will seize as much control as possible. We saw this happen many times.

        Nico Semsrott (Kabarettist and member of the EU parliament. Yes, both) proposed in jest sponsoring placement on the jackets of the political members that got donations by companies.
        The jackets should then look like the race overalls from Formula 1 or (not US) football players.

        And I am fully supporting this.

      But their constituents corporate donors would not profit as much. Won’t someone think about my profits? 🙃
