Talking of casino games brings us to another fundamental aspect of the political system of representative democracy. Long before any election is due, politicians and political parties start receiving monetary donations from big business. Now, with the introduction of electoral bonds, foreign companies — even foreign governments — can make donations to political parties. Politicians need support from business more than they need votes. Most of us stay mesmerized by the political system with its “shrieking and squeaking/ In fifty different sharps and flats”.
