The answer is not in policing corruption, since everyone is subject to corruption (no population is free of bad apples), but in preventing corruption. If there is not much power to be had by those seeking election, then the people "in power" are not worth influencing. Note: not anarchy and not anti-regulation; just a little slightly anti-lots of government power. EDIT: But this is the right idea.
