since that's where the majority of the corruption is, i agree.
local government is also often corrupt and inefficient, but the damage is less catastrophic.
hopefully accountability will improve with growing awareness, stimulated by blogs like this. ~"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate." Karl Jung~
In Spain the biggest source of corruption are land reclassifications and infrastructure building contracts. Most of this is politically under local government, except for the big national infrastructure like high-speed rail. "It's the statue, man, The Statue."
idem with italy and the land reclassifications and infrastructure building contracts, not receiving media attention.
the corruption i was referring to is around military-industrial spending and secret service shenanigans, rendition policies etc. ~"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate." Karl Jung~
