    People largely don’t vote. The informed voters are an even smaller slice of the pie chart. Even so, it seems most politicians can be bought for shockingly cheap.

    Money would have to get out of politics, voting in any election big or small would need a paid holiday, voting itself would have to move off the first passed the post system, etcetera. There’s so many steps to be taken in order to get out from under the corporate boot it’s hard to keep track of them.

    When the entire economic and political landscape has been turned into a casino, it’s a steep climb to beat the house at its own game.
