How does money influence our political system?

Answer 1

People contribute money to the campaigns of politicians. Some of them collect large sums, far beyond what the campaign costs. In return, the politician listens to the donor and may favor his interests. Sometimes contracts are awarded to campaign donors.

Lobbyists can be hired to support a particular interest and to lobby the politicians in its favor. With money, one can organize letter-writing or other types of campaigns for a particular political position or interest. Sometimes the number of people seeming to favor a position can be greatly exaggerated by a good campaign.

Answer 2

interest groups influence politics and public policy by spending money on elections. They contribute money to candidates for their election campaigns they also contribute money to other interest groups and spend money independently of the parties and candidates. Helping elect candidates creates a relationship between the interest group and the elected official that a group may exploit in the policy process.

Answer 3

Without money political parties will not be able to make signs or other types of representation of theirselves.
