Politicians and bureaucrats won't change until people start treating them with contempt, both socially and professionally.
Playing nicey-nice with people that have little to no conscience doesn't work as a method of political change.

Politicians are already one of the most reviled groups around, and that doesn't discourage them. Stage effective, organised opposition that will actually threaten their plushy careers, then they'll listen.
