A few examples of things we could do to stop a little the bleeding out of democracies:
1. Outlaw lobbying;
2. Tax the ass off the filthy rich;
3. Break up big corporations in tech, oil, media, you name it. No more monopolies or monopsonies;
4. Change the electorate system.
5. Increase work conditions. Higher wages, jobs availability, social welfare, etc.
The obvious takeaway is that if you reduce wealth inequality you get a healthier society and democracy.
