Date: June 20th, 2018 11:54 PM Author: lime brunch In Mexico, Mexicans acknowledge that corruption exists. But when asked who they will vote for, they always say, "I am not voting. Everyone is crap and won't change a thing." This is the mentality. That's why nothing changes. They just let it be. Very sad because they can stand up and do something about it.

Date: June 20th, 2018 11:42 PM Author: Lemon point milk The best way to root out corruption is with a benevolent strongman who is pretty secure in his power and can implement effective measures. The issue with this is (1) most strongmen are not benevolent and (2) if the person in charge isn't secure enough, a corruption campaign, which will likely be targeting other influential people, could lead to an overthrow or other measures taken to weaken the leader.
A democracy in a developing country will make it harder to deal with corruption. People in power will want to extract as much as they can from their position, particularly if they feel their time in office may be limited. Also, politicians in these countries can often retain support by throwing some pork to their constituents who then will turn a blind eye to their larger corruption. These issues are harder to deal with, as there is little incentive for those in power to go hard after corruption.
An example of the former is Singapore, Lee Kwan Yew implemented very harsh penalties for corruption, while removing some of the incentive by compensating politicians quite handsomely, and as a result there is little corruption today in the country.
An example of the latter is India. There is a democracy, but it is incredibly corrupt and even when there are popular anti corruption movements, little is actually done by the politicians benefiting from the system.
