Would be interesting if there were a way to see how many shares the saudis, jews, chinese, and whoevers own of each politician, and what the breakdown is.

How would you even calculate that? It's relatively easy to tell who owns them, but quantifying that is the difficult part; it ain't just donations to their re-election campaigns. Even then, you'd need proof that they acted in reciprocity, and that the bribe wasn't turned down.

It's definitely possible, but the question is if it's feasible.

It's more of a science fiction fantasy out of the Black Mirror, but it would be cool. Of course our current society wouldn't survive that level of reality.
