Let’s cut influence of money in politics

Would gun laws be stronger if gun makers did not make large political contributions? Would pharmaceuticals cost less if their producers did not make large political contributions?

Would the transition to clean, renewable energy get blocked if oil companies did not make large political contributions?

Imagine a system without the influence of large political contributions where elections were publicly funded so government decisions were based on merit, expertise and the public interest.
