I'm amused that you consider political organisations or businesses any less likely to be corrupt.

- lmm 6y agoCorruption is like gravity, everything rolls downhill unless there's something holding it up. In a large business it can stay hidden for a long while (especially if it's near to something profitable), but sooner or later someone will find it worth their while to follow the money - at least, there's an incentive for that to happen. For government things are even less reliable, but at least there's an opposition who has an incentive to find problems (also media etc.).
