I had see one who became a politician with pure intention to help the citizens and get rid of corruption in the past but he didn't last for more than two years or so. Not other politicians were backing him and supporting his intentions because they themselves were already corrupted before the man became our prime minister.
So I do believe there are some people out there who wants to become a politician with good intentions but if they do then I don't think they would last for long which is very sad.
Some people might enter politics and be attracted by the amount money they can earn, not just for being a politician. There are plenty of money making opportunities for someone in politics. A well known politician might also be paid as a business advisor, an after-dinner speaker, a writer or a broadcaster. That does not include illegal opportunities for taking bribes to support or vote against certain policies.
I don't think anyone enters politics with a view to making large profits, but when they do get into a position of power, they will start to see how their situation can be used to make more money. Many of them will make the most of what they can get out of being in politics.
here in the US we had a politician like that, he ran for president. his name is Ron Paul. Unfortunately the majority of people rather be dependent on govt than have personal and economic freedom.

Elections are decided by who counts the votes, not who votes.

Lol this is really true, there have been alot of frauds regarding elections, in many countries the organism that count votes is not related to government but it still makes fraud
