Politics is all about wealth and power. It makes no real difference what side of politics comes into power. The government gets elected democratically and they do what ever it takes to stay in power by pandering to their power brokers.


I disagree. In a properly functioning democracy (and they actually do exist) the power brokers are basically the electorate. As such a party or coalition actually does get elected based on its platform.

Of course America isn't really a properly functioning democracy...
