Olli Sorainen was convicted last week of aggravated bribery and abuse of public office, but says that a closer examination of the Finnish civil service would reveal "quite a few similar" cases.
Finland is surprisingly corrupt (it’s just not the sort of corruption where you bribe cops) and Finns are generally stupid and gullible enough to think we’re not corrupt
Don’t worry, any positions that offer some degree of power (such as those in government) all seem to attract the same kind of asshole people. Doesn’t matter where in the world it is, they are all mostly corrupt.
Absolutely, but at least in many countries people understand that – here people love to pretend that there is no corruption here at all and that we’re good, honest folk all of us.

Didn’t Plato say something about the people who want power being the ones you shouldn’t let have power?
I think Plato said philosophers like him should have power. Philosopher-Kings.
More of a Lenin vibe
