    Assuming that any and all politicians have a price tag (that’s your implication here), what’s preventing your third party candidate from getting bought?

        We have a party here in Romania called USR. They’re a technocrat party, and one of their big core pillars of policy is dealing with political corruption. I think it’s safe to say they also understand it’s a problem.

        Their politicians still occasionally get busted for corruption. Less than the other parties, but still. Don’t let the ideology blind you to reality.
