How do money and muscle power play an important role in elections?
Money and muscle power play an important role especially during elections. Since parties are focussed only on winning elections, they tend to use short cuts to win elections. They tend to nominate those candidates who can raise lots of money. Rich people and companies who give funds to the parties tend to have influence on the policies and decisions of the party. In some cases, parties support criminals who canwin elections.
