Alongside of this began the very sharp rise so the costs of elections, which drives the political parties even deeper then before into the pockets of corporate sector.

Reference information:
in someone's pocket

1. Dependent on someone financially and therefore under their influence: it was important that the voters should not be seen to be in any man’s pocket


2. Very close to and closely involved with someone: I’m tired of villages where everyone lives in everyone else’s pocket
