If elections could change anything, they would have been prohibited. All the politicians work for the same interest group (people with lots of money). They pretend to argue and offer different solutions, while they are just doing what they're WELL paid to do - fool masses into thinking they have a choice, it's a "free", democratic country. Every country that's ever existed has served one purpose: protect the interests of the wealthy and keep the flock obedient. Methods are slightly modulated (more crop, or more carrots), but principle is the same.
Poor will get poorer, rich will get richer. Until another communist - like revolution that will bring it back a bit, but it will start to divide again in no time - with rich-poor gap growing larger again.
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
