  1. If it wasn't for corruption these govts would be unworkable: "one hand washing the other", corruption, creates SOLID bonds, oddly, of TRUST, which engenders cooperation--just what govt needs internally. Otherwise, govt would be full to the brim with independent, even principled, agents, who will insist on doing everything right, and, as visions of rightness vary, well...loggerheads. Some associations invariably form, creating cliques--govt by clique--while the rest of the principled chime in as lone voices, being unassociated/powerless.

  2. I think, sometimes, that govts pretend to be responsive to the people to keep up the sham: govt's got the guns, money, and power to simply stamp out problematic factions. Once they demonstrate this capability, the illusion of popular influence will evaporate...and the people will take a different tack.
