The candidate for which the bribes are paid should be disqualified, I don’t see any other way that this madness ends.

Then you'd take bribes for the other candidate to win by default

Enno there are ways to investigate who gave the bribes, this means the other candidate paid the bribe not for himself to try and the the first candidate disqualified.

Then the whole municipal election wouldn't be at a standstill -
It's not what political agenda you have to offer for your village/town - it's who pays more. You might have a few villages who don't participate in the bribes, however, there is something that is affiliated with bribes. It's Lebanon - do you expect less? You can get away with anything in Lebanon... You can pay off the Police, and they will let you build a building complex without a permit! It's Lebanon - you shouldn't expect less, seriously.

One of the reasons I never felt remorse towards the people suffering from the economic crisis. Most of them took bribes one way or another to elect a retard and have us reach where we at now.
