Basic idea of politicians, is that they are law makers. When you have the power, to legalize every and any idea, can humans resist not to abuse it? It's highly unlikely. And there's a reason for that.
First, when you are in that power, you are sitting duck. You are human, against LARGE money. And you stand no chance. Money can buy life, and money can buy death. Someone with large sums of money can take you away, or, you can do what they say, and be rewarded.
Why would anyone in their common sense think, that there is ONE politician in this world, that isn't corrupted? Would you risk you head, heads of your wife, and children? Your parents? No matter how high your goals are for well being of the people you should lead, there's people with money, that can, and will blackmail you.
If you can read every day in your newspapers, that some stupid faggots are doing that (blackmailing others) on a small scale, imagine what others with hundreds of thousands times more money and logistic can do.
So, how this game really works?
Quite simple. I have money. You have ambition to become politician/president, and you want reforms in your country. I come to you and say: look, I'll fund your campaign, but I need few favors, when you come into power. I'll need this this and this law changed, and you'll get this sum of money for doing that. In case you won't, your kids are going in this and this school, and ...
Well, those are probably more diplomatic, but the essence is that.
That's how system works since the beginning of mankind.
And that is why we still have a 'system' of masters as government and slaves as people, and money to oil the machinery.
