Americans need a true democracy that represents the people first. They will never get that until contributions to all politicians are capped. At present the higher the office the more it costs to win the election. Voting Democrat or Republican makes little difference if the politician has to worry about funding his next campaign. As he funded the last one.
In Europe, we have a similar problem. An ever growing power base that everyone agrees needs changing, even its leaders say it needs to reform. And yet it gets further away from any reform as it adds power. The option is to for voters to wield power and break up this powerful cartel that no longer represent the people who vote for them. A vote by the UK to exit would force them to reform.
A vote for politicians not worried about self-interests is the way to progress. And if you think that can't be done, they have brainwashed you. They need to fear the electorate before anyone else.
