He made it clear that donations of funds might enable a person to be selected to fill the vacant seat in the senate for Illinois.He is in prison.
It depends entirely on the country/state/city in which you wish to attain political power and what your personal nationality, sex, age, and numerous other personal factors are.
In most western democracies The political parties are called the "LOYAL opposition" meaning they are a part of the system and will not stoop to illegal or violent means to gain political power. A key part of democracy. The party or parties not in power are there to point out what the government is doing wrong, to point out alternatives and most importantly prevent our society from becoming a dictatorship.
