I mean, that's pretty much what we've always had...
Yep, originally only wealthy white land owning men could vote or run for office.
In theory we have a democracy, but in practice money still decides elections and most of our politicians are wealthy high status white men.
At least they have to spend a fuck load to win now as opposed to just sitting on heaps of cash.
