That’s bullshit. There are plenty non-corrupt parties on the ballot. It’s just that voters willingly vote for the “collections of lying self serving bastards employed by the ultra rich”.

They start out non corrupt due to lack of opportunity. As soon as they gain power, they will become increasingly corrupted. The nature of politics strongly favours ruthless careerists, and in the end that leads to the large and powerful parties mostly consisting of people who would sell their own grandmother for personal profit.
