Absolutely spot on. What is the consequence of the fact that in the US there is virtually no correlation between the opinions of the bottom 80% poorer citizens about a given bill, and the likelihood that bill is adopted? While the correlation for the 0.1% wealthier is nearly perfect? Is it less harmful than having to slip a tenner to low-level officials.

The percentage of people that vote is rather small, especially in the primary elections when it really makes a difference. I think most government action is in alignment with the people who vote and participate the most.
