        Yes, as opposed to what we already have now.

        Lots of people in politics in Canada are not independently wealthy. Their job is their primary source of income.

      Only the rich are politicians now. A poor person can’t even afford college, so they’d never even get close to being an elected official. There are a million stumbling blocks in your way when you’re poor, that’s why poor people don’t make it into national politics.
