Corruption also exists outside of democracies.

  All currently existing electoral democracies are corrupt by design, you cannot elect people and expect them to not be lobbied. Only lottery based sortition with short terms and decades long cooldown periods solves that issue. It hasn't been tried since ancient Athens though, afaik.

    Sounds similar to jury duty at least.

      Yeah that's more or less the concept, except it not being mandatory to participate.

    Direct democracy also solves this issue.
