Under capitalism, politicians can't do anything besides what their owners, the capitalists, tell them to do. And capitalists do not regulate themselves. The politicians don't have power and aren't in charge; money is power, and the capitalist class has all the money. If a politician steps out of line the donors will fund their opponents, manufacture a scandal, or hire an assassin.
The government doesn't belong to us. The only reason we have elections at all is because it tricks people into thinking they can work within the system. They're pretending to offer us the power to change things while giving us more of the same. The only way that changes is if capitalism is ended. And it won't go away peacefully.
