31. Of course there are wonderful people

who cannot be corrupted, at least as easily as most others. My criticism of representative system is systemic and general, in terms of political philosophy instead of particulars such as US or Dems. Representative system, as all power hierarchies, are inherently corrupt and corruptive - "all power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely". In multiparty systems we see over and over again how grass roots movements that take the route of political party become co-opted and corrupted by the system and end up as part of the establishment. Greens are good example. Most people who join political parties and strive party political careers for idealistic reasons have to kiss ass and sell out to advance their position in the power hierarchy, and they do.

Human social psychology just has not evolved in and for representative system. Many things can be done and tried of course, also inside the representative system, to avoid corruption. Pirate Parties have idea of representatives acting as informers and button pushers of direct and participative on-line democracy. After Iceland's revolution part of the social movement decided to take the parliamentary route, but the party decided to have maximum life-span of eight years, asking each year if people still think it's necessary, and if the list of things to get done gets ready earlier, the party will also disband.
