> politicians require money to be elected. I feel this is an easy cop out. And while money absolutely influences politics, votes get people elected. And in today's age of connectivity, there should be no reason a candidate can't overcome that money barrier if they appeal to the the wider populace. I think the reality is more we don't want to look at ourselves as architects of the negatives we see. Like how many here dont like the current state of government and can say they are highly politically active in creating change? Sadly I think apathy is one of the largest variables for poor government.
