Assuming you live in a country with democratic (small 'd') institutions, you elected those folks. If they're corrupt and/or incompetent, that's on you and your fellow countrymen, no?

I am quite sure some of them even date back to our last Kaiser (not the soccer one). What is a single person to do against political parties that historically should be considered complicit in starting and losing two World Wars and survived without having their ideologies purged?

To an extent, yes, but I believe real-life has shown that removing incumbents is very difficult. I sense that the makeup of the district and the composition of party strength is the major factor in determining whether or not a politician is reelected or replaced, rather than popularity or approval rating.
