I actually think that nobody is corrupt when they set out, be it in politics or any other walk of life, the corruption comes, through opportunity, some people keep on the straight and narrow others are temped by that opportunity. Its just the same as finding a wallet in the street with £200 in it, what do you do, well I'd hand it into the police station, somebody else might think its their luck day and pocket the money, personally I couldn't live with myself if I did that, others wouldn't have any qualms what so ever, its how your made
