One weakness common to countries like ours is that many (not all) of the candidates fighting for office are seeking power over other people. That seems built into the system .
Elections are contests for control over others. It isn't so much that power corrupts as it is that politics attracts the power hungry, the Diannes and Mitches of the world. Most of us do not want to boss people around, and we do not like most politicians.
