ITT we discuss scientifically how to arrive at the optimal state using economics, game theory, and statistics.
Represent a terrible candidate having probability being elected each election. Suppose the terrible incumbent has a constant advantage through corruption, represent this as a fixed constant . Suppose that each terrible incumbent has a fixed disadvantage in being elected each term, represent this as . The modifier chance of a incumbent terrible candidate over time will thus be . Thus as long as the corruption is sufficiently outweighed such that then . Furthermore since we can see . Hence as long as the country isn’t corrupt, a good candidate will have a higher chance of holding office over time.
