| | Transparency International-- CORIS - Political corruption (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) |
 | | Given this privileged position, the damage that can be inflicted by politicians or parties acting out of greed, or in the service of those who bankrolled their ascent to power, is immense. |
 | | It is not surprising then that people the world over are demanding absolute probity of their political leaders: if given a magic wand, citizens in three countries out of four polled by TI and Gallup International singled out political parties as the institution from which they would most like to eliminate corruption. |
 | | This website provides an introduction to political corruption, analysing why the problem is so widespread and looking at what can be, and has been, done to tackle it. |
