&quot;Let the banishment of money from the election component of political activity exist as an iron law in any new democracy which is established.&quot;<p>I think this is incredibly short sighted. Money is a means to access a political voice for the dispossessed as much as the wealthy.  What will happen without money is that policy will be crafted by and for solely the politically privileged.  Backroom deals and dark access will be even more important than otherwise.  A tighter, more difficult to disrupt oligarchy will emerge.  I doubt this is what you would want.
