This is supposed to be a what if not as is. ;)


This still isn't 100%, but with that kind of wages it almost surely would come to that on the long run. I am from the country where typical MP earns something like 1500$ a month and it is basically impossible to keep the system clean with current paradigms. In a way this is exactly why many want to return the clock back into something what we had before the current systems.

I'm more wondering what politics would look like if it wasnt just a money game.

That strikes me more as "What if politics isn't politics?".

It's a what if thread about politics man. :shrug: Fly unfettered with me in the hypothetical sea. Take my hand Virtual Ghost. I can show you the world. Shining shimmering Splendid!

There is one that is on my mind from time to time. What if Hitler knew about the oil in Libya ?

From what I know oil there was discovered after the war, while oil was probably the main reason why he attacked the USSR.
Just a single piece of info would probably change everything.

Hitler attacked the USSR mostly for reasons of insanity. It was not for a lack of oil that Germany lost the war.
