If the UK is smart, they will institute policies against politicians accepting money from these
billionaires.
They need only look at us to see the disaster they are walking into.

Raise taxes on the uber-wealthy.

Enforce anti-trust laws

Nullify Citizens United

Enforce the Epstein law

Invoke the 25th Amendment, Impeach Vance, take the House, install the best Democratic Presidential material as Speaker of the House.

The Speaker of the House becomes POTUS.

Where’s law and order when you really need it?

finally wake up and get Citizens United modified, NOTHING will ever change. We have to get the money out of politics. And I don't give a shit what the SC said. Their decision years ago DOES make a difference. Look how bad it is today.
