If money were removed from elections and secondarily if fptp and electoralism were ended...

Then basically every other problem would solve itself for the better.

furthermore If money isn't removed from elections then social unrest will worsen and intensify. -This alone will at minimum require the packing of the supreme court to get around Citizen United.

just a little history to know who your up against, The last senator to attempt to end electoralism was from my state. The last amendment he submitted on the matter was voted against by(among others) Joseph Biden.
