    Why not legalize corruption once and for all?

    I wonder what will happen at the next election? Surely people will want to get these corrupt politicians out, but who will they replace them with when all the parties seem to be involved? They can choose new, younger people from same parties, but they may well want to protect their older colleagues. And if they pick a bunch of new, inexperienced people there will be no one there who knows what they are doing.

    @DT: REF: I wonder what will happen at the next election?

    VERY easy to predict!

    Under the mockery of the [FAKE] democracy; this is how, ALL the crimes are well-organized - beyond anyone's imagination!

    The election itself is yet another soap-opera! At the polling booth, there MAY not be any “fixing” but from the moment the pen-drives leave the polling booths till the moment of counting the votes; ANYTHING can happen! In fact; THAT's where the “Buying of Votes” ACTUALLY takes place!!!

    Besides; who will win is also negotiated, before being well orchestrated amongst the contesting [supposed to be] “opposing” Parties/Candidates. NORMALLY, the “loser” ends-up receiving “compensation” for losing.

    The election is the grand entertainment of the ignorant masses and at the cost of the masses. THE question still remains: if the candidates are the politicians-turned-cooks or these are the crooks-turned-politicians! In any case and irrespective of which crooks come to power; the taxes WILL Skyrocket! Wanna bet? That ENSURES making the [already suffering] masses; poorer and more miserable!
