I think people put way to much trust it political institutions, at least at the scale of national, which are, for the most part, only really used to protect a certain classes of people, the people who run it.

The problem with corruption is scale, when you have too large of an institution, it's easier to hide intent. I don't see how you can police that by voting when so much of what goes on is not easily seen.

For every persons that gets voted in to do the right thing, there are 4 others who are doing the wrong thing.
