Roman Roland once declared that in politics, the real boss is always money. Elections are often little more than a man’s game pitting people with money against each other for the right to make more money – a classic recipe for corruption. To put an end to the ties between politics and business, what is needed is comprehensive constitutional reform. The heads of the four government branches should be elected in alternating years, and elections should be free of charge to all candidates in order to end symbiotic relations that lead inevitably to corruption.
