@ LoMM:

If you guys really worry about having a corrupt government, your system definitely sucks.

Start owning your government by supporting it with improvement proposals, instead of mistrusting it to the bone. Make some change by supporting business independent political programmes instead of wasting huge amounts of money on rallies and campaigns to support individuals. Establish and support more parties. Detach from the rusty elephant and donkey establishment. Nudge the system if you think it's not worth the peoples trust, by positive action ... not by supporting the noisiest populist oligarch just because he has a catchy, yet hollow, slogan that primarily touches, and rouses, fears. Don't let fear rule. Ban fear ''... yeah, that should be the counter slogan to populism: BAN FEAR!''

If a people doesn't own its government, bad things happen ...
