I'm with DanaC, the kind of contributions corporations give political parties completely undermines the democratic process, frankly, in the US it's an utter joke when you look at who benefits from the kind of laws that get passed. I won't even bother listing recent examples, I could be here for hours. It is a problem anywhere and the only answer is to completely hack out that kind of funding. Plato had it right, you can be a businessman, a politician or a soldier but no combination of the above.
