Whoever is voted into power will have no significant impact on the problems faced by electors in America or by countries elsewhere in the world. That\u2019s because they will be constrained by the needs of maintaining the capitalist system and looking after the interests of the tiny minority class that owns the vast majority of the world\u2019s wealth.
