The others remained silent, and Krov gave a bitter smile, then grimaced and said, "Although this method isn't bad, to snipe them, we'd still need resources to back us up. We don't have much in the way of political contributions right now..."
After all, it all comes down to being poor!
The very nature of this election method is a money-gobbling monster!
When the strengths of both sides are comparable, the side with the more robust financial power gains an advantage and increases their chances of winning.
Of course, it's not to say that whoever has the most money will definitely win. If that were the case, there would be no need for elections at all. Before the campaign even starts, just compare who has raised more money, and then announce on the spot that the side with more contributions wins...
In the election process, it is still possible for the weaker to overcome the stronger, and it's not even rare!
