Maybe you’d just get better people becoming politicians, ones that couldn’t be corrupted?

  Those people don't want to be politicians.

    This. We should never give power to those who are after it; the mere desire for power is a good clue that said power will be abused. Maybe not always, but it's often the case. Now, how do we vote someone who doesn't run for a seat? Heh, good question!

      You make the job more appealing to those kinds of people. I think one of the ways to do that is to make the job less appealing to the people who currently hold it.

        I think the hitchhiker's guide solution is not the worst, don't even tell them that they're doing the job and just take whatever they say and implement it.

    Nobody that actually wants the job is fit by definition.
