Problem Politics is too complex! Is there any “pattern”? What is the network of the politicians? Do they form in groups? If they form in groups, they are grouped by representing parties, positions, personal relationships, or just randomly? Is there any clear evidence to show which party is supported (followed) by more corporations, and what are those corporations, do those corporations follow other parties as well? Is there a pattern of how corporations support the politicians (by group, by positions, or any other possible reasons)? Same question can be applied to universities and media as well.
