      I mean liberal and conservative aren’t the same level of crappy in my eyes, but it is accurate to say corporate interests fund both of them. I think its reasonable to question how beholden both of them are to private interests

        The thing is if they are the same level of crappy, treating them on the same level only benefits the crappier.

    What’s supposed to happen is that if you don’t like that, you run for office and try to pass campaign finance reforms.

    That has not been happening so much because campaigning got too expensive unless you already sold out, to oversimplify somewhat.

    Aye, true, I’ll still never vote Tory though.

    At least Labour don’t twiddle their moustaches while talking in frank terms about evil foreigners and using that god awful term the Americans invented to describe their enemies… “woke”.
