The present system blindly hoping against all odds that no one will be corrupted.
But the present system is ripe for corruption.
What's amazing about this present system is not the number of politicians who have been

Isn't it time we gave our politicians a better chance to remain uncorrupted?
Isn't it time for a change?

But there's no way we can get a live picture out of there.
Well why not?
