Because money is essential to fight elections, elected offices are viewed as sources of money primarily. The bureaucracy has been corrupt through the ages right from the kingly times. Elected officials use them now to collect money.
Until such time as the need for money in elections disappears, parliamentary democracies would continue to live on corruption. When people become economically stronger, they would cease to look for money in elections. Politicians would then be judged on their other qualities.
