    Try thinking like this: Having more power means that your decisions, preferences, biases and limitations have more weight. With more weight, you will bulldoze whatever other people want. With all the weight, whatever you say goes. The corruption is a part of the system overruling the rest through no malicious intent.

      That’s not corruption, though, that’s just how administration works. There can absolutely be good reasons for people to have more of a say when it comes to decision making, and these people can be selected democratically or meritocratically.
