Elections are all too often a rich man's game, with candidates vying for the right to make money through systemic corruption. To eliminate the connections between politics and business, comprehensive constitutional reform is needed to implement democracy and the rule of law, separation of powers and checks and balances. The heads of the four branches should be elected, and elections must be free of charge in order to put an end to the symbiotic structure enriching political and commercial figures.
