I have to disagree based on my experience. In my country (South Korea), many have voted for conservative politicians under the notion that while they might be corrupt, they come with long careers inside the government and hence more "qualified" for the job. More often than not, it turns out these conservatives aren't only more corrupt but actually less competent than their liberal counterparts. Their "successful" past careers mean little when they are built upon backstage deals and friends taking care of friends.
