There seems to be a great deal more corruption in your system in that there is far more financial influence whereas that isn’t as big here, not that it isn’t still a very corrupt system in of itself.

I suspect that part of it is that there are but 68,000 constituents per British MP compared to ten times that in Americans per Congressman. It means that mass media is the principle means of communication, which then necessitates buckets of money. Hopefully, the Internet will change that to a degree.
