This is what we do:

Every area chooses representatives for their area. The government officials votes are in public. Their meetings are open to the people - the most important meetings are shown on television. The officials are held responsible for their votes and decisions, at least as long as the people can remember them. Usually they don't remember by election day, but at least the fools are kept out.

These days, many people believe that the political process is corrupted by richer people getting more attention because they give money to the advertising of the candidates they agree with. Without this advertising, it is difficult to get elected to government, because most people will not vote for you because they don't know who you are.

It is difficult, but not impossible, for government officials to receive huge bribes because their personal finances are made public as a part of campaign financing laws.
