We have over a century of evidence that it's not difficult at all to influence politicians, especially when there's practically no working class representation in politics. Also, when you have a bunch of parties then they all just pull things in different directions making it nearly impossible to do any sort of long term planning. This is why a lot of large infrastructure projects China is able to do are basically impossible in the west.
