Explanation / Answer
If we talk about the relationship between politics, power and money then we’ll see that impact of any political party or for instance any politician is directly proportional to the financial and social power of that politician. This can be seen when we consider the US president “Donald Trump”. He’s a successful businessman with immense financial and Social power and this made it very easy for him to beat other candidates. In other countries the same trend can be seen whether it be Vladimir Putin who’s serving as the president of Russia since 2012.
As we can see that the effectiveness of any political campaign is directly proportional to the amount of money that is pumped in the campaign and this money comes from the political campaign contributors and hence the political parties or candidates who enjoy these campaigns have an added advantage over other parties or candidates. And when these parties and candidates comes into power they reciprocate those contributors by giving those contributors’ industries some extra power as compared to normal industries.
If given a change then I’ll predecide the amount of contributions that any candidate can have so that no candidate can have any unfair advantages. And this also make any democracy more democratic as that won’t give any extra power to some industries.
