In any case, money going to parties does not ensure their election. If it does, that is a problem with voters, and no more.

You've put way too much faith in the wealthy, my friend. Just because someone is on the top of the social ladder and holds an ivy league education is no indication that they're going to do the right thing when it comes to government policy. I'd assume just the opposite based on recent events--the wealthy have only been self-serving; using their position of power to make themselves richer, usually at the expense of the "peasants."
