    You’re kidding yourself if you think that someone pouring a couple of billion dollars into things like PR etc wouldn’t sway an election in any country

      He can’t pour a billion dollars into the Brazilian election unless he manages to bribe all the authorities… And look who he is talking about.

        We’re not talking about the same thing. Bribery isn’t the only way to use money in politics

          A lot of countries cap election spending, many even only allow public money to be used for campaign advertisement.
