    Money in politics in the US is ridiculous.

    Politicians here are cheap but at least it’s not prohibitively expensive to run for everyone. I know there are barriers that shouldn’t be there.

      Both country have this corruption problem. The US is just further along because they have a higher proportion of crazy christians to tap into.

        Can’t disagree with that notion.

        Political reform is required before we get all the way down theUS-style rabbit hole.

          I don't think we'll either go as far as them. But we desperately need political reform to not find out how far in that direction we'd go. Though maybe we already hit rock bottom now. Fingers crossed. The crazy rightwing stuff is a real vote loser.
