@altbot

I hope it doesn’t lead to what has happened in the US, due to writing the laws badly

As far as I know, US has pretty strict laws limiting campaign funding SUPPORTING a candidate

However, due to a loophole, an ”independent” organisation that can prove it’s not directly co-operating with a candidate can spend unlimited money on any other form of political advertising

PS. This is why the political ads you see are almost exclusively negative & toxic
