Does Citizens United even matter that much anymore? We’re at the point where individual billionaires are making massive campaign donations and even transparent bribes. Removing the ability for corporations to contribute to campaign finance just reveals one layer of dark money, but it doesn’t solve the problem of the power of wealth in politics.
It matters in that a lot of actors would rather remain private (as demonstrated by the very existence of super-PACs).
However, all of this money should be cut off from our elections. What other country does this? The USA has a constant campaign cycle and we’re spending an unfathomable amount of money to pitch unpopular candidates. We can do that for free, believe it or not we don’t need to buy advertising from FOX and NBC.
I’m not familiar with world-wide campaign financing rules, but it seems to me almost anything else would be preferable to corporate sponsorship and control of politics.

It would be better if the politicians wore patches on their sport coats showing who their sponsors are. Larger patches for larger donors
