So, if we are agreed that almost all politicians take bribes and tailor legislation for their own personal benefit, would you rather have activist politicians who implement broad agendas and transform society or more conservative politicians who do not wield the power of government so forcefully?
We'll get money out of politics when we get politics out of money.
I'd rather have a balance of both, but unfortunately, we don't know what they are going to do, until it's been done.
If we get the money/power out of politics, then who will want to be a politician?
