I have to find an online news article within the last twelve months that will help me in answering the following:

• Discuss the flaws in the democratic system of government from the online news article.

• How did the financial markets influence the government's actions?

• Provide the date and the actual website that you got the online news article from.

I found these 2 articles:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/nov/16/america-flawed-democracy-five-key-areas

https://www.ft.com/content/dd54762a-9a54-4ac0-ab83-67b91d58e892

but I am struggling a lot with "How did the financial markets influence the government's actions?".

I can also change articles if you suggest something better.
