Fighting corruption

In many countries you have politician and parties that promise to root out corruption and attacking their political opponent and others for being corrupt. While at the same time those politician and parties often have little or no concrete propositions for new laws, regulation and other measures to stop corruption instead the only focused on promising to punish their political opponents and portray them as evil.

In Brazil it has led to that the politician that ousted Dilma Rousseff and took power are as corrupt or even more corrupt than her and no meaningful measures to stop the rampant corruption.
While in Hungary you ended up with an authoritarian government that have drastically reduced the freedom of the press and thereby hinder investigation into their own shady dealings.

That simple solutions don’t work to deal with complex things like corruption. That you instead for example need public debate and campaigns for concrete measures against corruption. There you need ordinarily citizen, NGO and local politician participating. Also that you gain bipartisan support that the goal is to stop both sides from being able to be corrupt.

That it can often be both hard and take a long time to get victories but often much better than trusting vague promises from politicians that only use corruption allegation as a way of gaining power.

The best way to stop corruption is to have one account for the party, and make all expenditure public knowledge. then, they could question any transaction that goes through, declaring where they need to throw banquets for foreign schmoozing and deal making.

The politicians get plenty of cash to do their private stuff, i suppose at least two thousand dollars or thirty thousand rand a month, yes? this must be the typical rate to be paid at, more or less, for all politicians.

It is easy to stop corruption if you combine all the spending into one account, but, then all parties must declare all income and expenditure. this will also put an end to all the underworld stuff, like the free masons and so forth.
